Ericsson to deploy 28 Mbps mobile broadband speeds in Telecom Italia's network
18 Febbraio 2009 - 8:30AM
Marketwired
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and Telecom Italia initiate deployment
of mobile network technology of 28 Mbps speeds in early 2009. The
deployment will include MIMO technology. Milan will be the first
town to become the Italian 'ultra-broadband city', enjoying speeds
up to 28 Mbps in download and 5.8 Mbps in upload.
Telecom Italia will be first in Italy to deploy live mobile
broadband speeds of 28 Mbps with Ericsson's mobile network
technology. Tests in Telecom Italia's mobile network will start
early 2009 and initial deployment is planned in the city of Milan
in June 2009. National coverage will follow in the second half of
2009.
The deployment will include Multiple Input and Multiple Output
(MIMO), a technology that uses two or more antenna branches to
transmit data to a consumer. This makes it possible to provide
higher data rates to each user and improve the spectrum efficiency
in the radio network. With this technology, Telecom Italia will be
able to offer a faster mobile broadband experience to consumers
while continuously optimizing its operational costs.
Ericsson is leading the development of High Speed Packet Access
(HSPA), a standardized evolution of Wideband Code Division Multiple
Access (WCDMA), the world's leading third generation mobile
standard. HSPA offers users superior broadband speeds from their
notebooks and other devices anywhere there is coverage. HSPA is
already a global success and a burgeoning ecosystem of mobile
broadband devices and services has emerged around the technology,
including phones, notebooks, PC modems and wireless routers.
With HSPA technology bringing up to 28 Mbps in downlink and up
to 5.8 Mbps in the uplink, the user experience of mobile broadband
services such as video conferencing, uploading user-generated
content and sending e-mail with attachments will improve even
further.
Actual customer download speeds can be less and will vary due to
congestion, distance from the cell, local conditions, hardware,
software and other factors.
