Huawei plans to launch a 56Mbps HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Plus) commercial solution in 2010, which will enable operators to offer download speeds that are double what is available today. The 56Mb/s HSPA+ solution, featuring multi-carrier and MIMO (multiple-input-multipleoutput) technologies, was successfully demonstrated in Beijing this week at P&T/Wireless & Networks Comm China 2009.
“Advances in mobile broadband, particularly record breaking data speeds and capacity of HSPA networks, have had a profound impact on the telecom industry and demonstrate the enormous potential of UMTS/HSPA,” said Wan Biao, President of Wireless, Huawei. “This 56Mbps HSPA+ solution will enable operators to maintain their industry leading positions and provide consumers with an evermore attractive mobile broadband experience.”
This solution will allow operators currently using Huawei’s fourth generation and 38xx series base stations to smoothly evolve their legacy networks to 56Mbps HSPA+ networks via software upgrades alone, and deploy leading edge networks at significant cost savings that ultimately protect their long term investment.
Huawei has already deployed over 10 commercial HSPA+ network contracts, as of August 2009. In Asia-Pacific, Huawei has deployed a commercial 28Mbps HSPA+ network, and, along with leading operators including Japan's EMOBILE, Singapore's StarHub, Vodafone Turkey, and Hong Kong's PCCW, Huawei has launched five commercial HSPA+ networks which support downlink speeds of up to 21Mbps.
