Ericsson shows 9-Mbit UMTS

During the 3GSM World Congreses in Cannes has telecomcompany Ericsson a new generation of the UMTS-data transfer demonstrated. Downloadsnelheden of 9 Mbps hear till the possibilities.

The Phase 2-variant of the transfer protocol High Speed down link Packet Access (HSDPA) obetains speeds that the fastest ADSL-connections of the moment exceed. Such data speeds make jumble new (video) services possible. The through Ericsson demonstrated system works moreover about the existing UMTS-infrastructure.

End last year obetained Ericsson in tests yet approximately the half of that speed, but an improvement of the technology, in combination with more tie width on the HSDPA-channel, made the improvements possible. Ericsson thinks that finally more than 14 Mbps feasibly must be.

As it goes with demonstrations will 9 Mbps on the mobile telephone temporarily not feasibly be. HDSPA with a speed of 4.9 Mbps is pace foresee against the end of 2005. Higher speeds its despite the demonstration in Cannes temporary future music.
