Ericsson Claims Three HSPA Firsts, Including 168Mbps Download
WOW!!!
WOW! That's amazing!! 😳 😳 😲 😲 🤤 🤤 I still think that TMO pushing their network to 42mbps is awesome but 168Mbps using commercial equipment is phenomenal! This just goes to show you that HSPA+ is a technology forced to be reckoned with. The one great thing that I really like about HSPA+ is the back-wards compatibility with 3G devices. No need to switch over to another frequency or anything, it will just work. But there is one question that I keep asking myself.... Do we really need 168Mbps? Or 678Mbps that TMO is talking about going to by 2015?
Well, most carriers seem to be pushing the speed claim now, so whether we need it or not, it may be deployed.
At some point T-mobile will want to have similar speeds as LTE to compete, and this may allow them to do so.
