Putty Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 -HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA, HSPA+: High Speed Download/Upload Packet Access (+ designates the “Evolved” newer spec). This is a major upgrade to existing 3G networks that allows for (but does not currently actually show) speeds up to 21Mbps at the moment. T-Mobile is using this, and the G2 is currently the only phone using the network, though the MyTouch 4G will as well when it hits the streets. The HSPA+ spec does allow for much higher bandwidths, but 21 appears to be the limit for the short- to medium-term. -LTE: Long-Term Evolution. This is intended to replace 3G networks altogether, and provides a major speed boost and improvements on the way different types of data are transmitted. Verizon’s LTE-based test networks are currently showing 10-15Mbps, though the technology theoretically supports more than ten times that amount of bandwidth. AT&T is planning an LTE network as well, which they’re planning on launching in 2011, but at the moment they’ve activated HSPA+ at a good number of sites around the country. -WiMax: Originally rolled out as a wireless home broadband service (i.e. Clearwire), but now being improved to allow for access by mobile phones. The current revision allows for up to 40Mbps, and future revisions promise 1Gbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
