[1] HSDPA
The HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) standard marks a similar leap forward for W-CDMA and UMTS as EDGE does for GSM in terms of data transmission speed and capacity, essential for 3G evolution. The Alcatel-Fujitsu HSDPA demonstrator will give European operators a "hands-on" opportunity to assess HSDPA's performance and potential. Current field-proven 3G downlink speeds of about 384Kbps (up to 2Mbps possible according to standards) will be boosted to 14Mbps (maximum value according to standards) with the first-generation HSDPA systems, enabling operators to support a considerably larger number of high data-rate users on a single radio carrier and ensure data-hungry subscribers get the best experience with innovative and existing multimedia services.
