Cingular Lets 3G Data Info Slip

posted Nov 14, 2005, 1:10 PM

Cingular has unofficially launched a page for their HSDPA high speed data PC Card today. The Sierra Wireless AC 860 features dual band (850/1900) HSDPA as well as quad-band GPRS/EDGE. The page is still a work in progress, and the card is not yet available, however the page does reveal more information about Cingular's 3G network. Cingular now claims download speeds of 400-700 Kbps, with a maximum burst of 1.8 Mbps. Earlier documents were still showing first generation 3G speeds, but these new figures reflect the expected speed of HSDPA. Cingular also claims an upload speed of only 40-60 Kbps at launch, which is well below expectations. Documents leaked earlier unveiled the cities as well as a November time frame for the launch.
