Ericsson’s WCDMA/HSPA offering is the backbone of true mobile broadband services. Part of Ericsson’s Full Service Broadband offering, the ADSL-like data speeds of WCDMA/HSPA allow service providers to deliver a true broadband experience to any device, any where at any time.


Key characteristics of Ericsson's WCDMA/HSPA offering for mobile broadband include

• Support for up to 14.4Mbps on the downlink (current commercial devices support up to 7.2Mbps) and 1.4Mbps on the uplink
• Superior radio performance with a comprehensive RBS portfolio for optimized coverage and capacity 
• Excellent in-service-performance built on scalable and future-proof 3G platforms
• A clear evolution path to HSPA Evolution, which will provide speeds of 42Mbps on the downlink and 12Mbps on the uplink.

Ericsson offers HSPA support on many frequency bands ranging from 850MHz to 2.6GHz

Supplying half  the world’s commercially deployed HSPA networks, Ericsson is the clear market leader in mobile broadband.

This is further supported by the wide installed base of Ericsson-deployed WCDMA networks, designed for rapid introduction of HSPA functionality, through unique radio features such as fast dynamic output power allocation, ultra linear amplifiers, fast-congestion control and TX chain gain calibration.

Building on today’s WCDMA/GSM networks, and with more than 600-HSPA-enabled devices on the market, HSPA is an effective way for mobile operators to quickly and cost-effectively meet mass market demand for mobile broadband.

The advanced technology allows operators to more than double their system capacity while cutting response times.

This opens up numerous revenues for providing high-performance, interactive services to an enormous subscriber base, anywhere at any time, stimulating greater usage and loyalty among existing customers while attracting new ones.
