First HSUPA Data Card Approved
Aug 14, 2007, 1:44 PM by (staff)
The FCC today approved the Option GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA, the first HSUPA data card for use in the US. The new card from Option has Tri-band (850/1900/2100) HSUPA - the latest 3G standard capable of download speeds up to 7.2 Mbps and upload speeds over 2 Mbps. The card also offers compatibility with older 3G protocols, WCDMA and HSDPA, as well as quad-band EDGE. This spring AT&T announced it would be rolling out an HSUPA upgrade to its 3G network later this year. This card will likely help AT&T launch the upgraded service.

Eat your heart out VERIZON
and as far as WiMAX is concerned this gives BOTH SPEED AND DISTANCE!!!
A commonly held misconception is that WiMAX will deliver 70 Mbit/s, over 30 miles (48 kilometers). Both of these qualities are true individually, given ideal circumstances, but they are not simultaneously true. WiMAX has some similarities to DSL in this respect, where one can either have high bandwidth or long reach, but not both simultaneously.In
urban environments it is more likely that these devices will not have line-of-sight and therefore users may only receive 10 Mbit/s over 2 km.
