The Buzz on Mobile Data

05/30/2006 10:15 AM

Will High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and its latest cousin HSUPA (7.2 Mbits/s both ways) for high speed 3G mobiles start to compete with wired broadband systems?

The industry is apparently looking at a Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3G for data rates up to 50 or even 100Mbit/s, getting close to fibre optics.

There is a good article in Engineer Live.

High Speed

That would be great if they are able to avoid the same stupid mistakes they made with 3G. The equipment was to expensive to deploy and while they were busy doing the "spectrum regulations" dance 802.11g and GPRS came in and ate their lunch.
Personally I think that the future is going to be a distributed phone network. As more powerful Ethernet routers come on the market people will just have 802.11g phones and just use the slower speed stuff for e-mail when not in a hot-spot...
