Moto's Tests Show HSDPA Disappoints In Real World

Motorola has run real world tests of HSDPA network equipment in Europe and has noted that initial configurations are not living up to HSDPA's promise. HSDPA should speed up downloads on UMTS networks to at least 1.8 Mpbs, and enable advanced applications like video streaming. The initial configuration of European HSDPA test networks was similar to UMTS and did not take advantage of many of HSDPA's advanced technologies, thus it did not meet speed or bandwidth expectations. Motorola believes that by taking advantage of new technology incorporated into the HSDPA protocol such as scheduling and quality of service, that these networks could meet the expectations of power users. Motorola also suggested that networks need to look at launching phones with equalization functionality, which can increase data speed when a user is in motion. Most manufacturer's first generation HSDPA handsets do not support this yet, according to Motorola.

Hmmm.. what happened to the Alleged 14mb/s with the trial ?

that is why the trial and the real world are very different..

anyone have any opinions?

are we going to see 14mb/s or at least 1.8mb/s?

I don't see it would be any different from EV-DO...where Rev A is faster than the first release....

I don't expect the first release of HSDPA to be the "best" one.

Give it some time before you use words such as "alleged"...

Don't everyone freak out on me...

...but I'm willing to wait till Cingular gets their HSDPA fully functional before I start making assumptions.
Same here.
Their video shows decent results - I'm not sure what the writer is looking for. According to the video, they were averaging 2.3 Mbps while driving at 50 km/h, and averaged 2.5 Mbps stationary at the edge of cell.

Given Motorola's history of making good ideas look bad in the real world, I think I'll wa...

I agree with you on this one. It seems that time could become a foe to Cingular. Can they afford to allow their CDMA counterparts to develop and deploy future versions of EVDO? Given Sprint's history of deploying new network technology quickly across ...
