The number of HSDPA networks planned, in deployment or launched has reached 108 in 51 countries, according to new survey data released by GSA - the Global mobile Suppliers Association. The GSA survey confirms 45 commercial HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access - the first evolution of WCDMA) networks have launched worldwide, representing growth of 150% over the past three months.
HSDPA is a natural step in the evolution of GSM, bringing broadband speeds to mobile networks and offering highest performance at lowest cost, enabling true mass-market mobile IP multimedia services.
The majority of 3G/WCDMA operators are deploying HSDPA in their networks as the new baseline for the full mobile broadband experience.
HSDPA networks are commercially launched in 33 countries/territories, in the Americas (USA), APAC (Hong Kong, Malaysia, The Philippines, South Korea), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Hungary, Germany, Greece, Isle of Man, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Madeira, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, UK) and the Middle East and Africa (Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, UAE).
