14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia and Singaporean mobile operator MobileOne (M1) have carried out the first High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) data call in Southeast Asia. The call was conducted in a test environment using a Nokia Flexi WCDMA Base Station and Nokia's HSUPA-capable device.
The successful trial demonstrated Nokia's end-to-end capability to support new data rates and services to be built on HSUPA. It also proved that the connection from device to the 3G network can now reach a data rate of 1.45 Mbps which is up to 4 times over existing 3G speeds. For instance, a typical 10 MB video file transfer over HSUPA network takes less than a minute to upload, as compared to a minimum of 3 minutes using today's 3G speeds. HSUPA is thus ideal for sending large data files, such as photos and videos.
Nokia HSPA Solution is made up of two key technologies, HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access), enabling true mobile broadband with breakthrough data speeds up to 14 Mbps in the downlink and up to 5.7 Mbps in the uplink. Nokia HSPA offers almost 10-times faster data services than current 3G networks, generating an enhanced service experience.
Nokia Flexi WCDMA Base Station is a space-saving modular innovation that enables operators to make more efficient use of their base station sites, leading to significant site cost savings through reduced site construction work, quick base station installation and decreased power consumption. All these make the Nokia Flexi WCDMA Base Station an environmentally friendly solution. Nokia HSUPA is a simple software upgrade to Nokia Flexi WCDMA Base Station.
