Swedish telecomms solutions provider Ericsson said on Friday (10 February) that it would demonstrate its commercial HSDPA system supporting speeds of up to 3.6 Mb/s with pre-commercial devices from several vendors at 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona on 13-17 February. HSDPA, the first step in the evolution path of WCDMA, enables download data speeds of up to 14.4 Mb/s, offers operators more than double the system capacity and reduces the response time for interactive services, according to Ericsson. The support for HSDPA at 14.4 Mb/s and enhanced uplink, HSUPA, would be available in the second half of 2006, the company added.
