Cellular data module
handles leading-edge rates
TTPCom has achieved a 216Kbit/s download using its recently announced Edge module
The download, which took place on Ericsson's Edge infrastructure at the company's development site in Sweden, achieved maximum four-slot, multislot class 9 throughput. TTPCom's Edge team downloaded a 10Mbyte file from the Internet to a PC, using the Edge module. The download was repeated using a selection of files and runs, and the 216Kbit/s datarate was achieved consistently.

Stephen Molloy, Edge Project Leader at TTPCom stated: "We are really pleased with this performance.
Technically we are operating at the limit of what can be achieved with Edge technology, and this achievement is a testament to the skills and hard work of the whole Edge team at TTPCom.
The fact that the data rate was so consistently high demonstrates the underlying quality of TTPCom's Edge software and builds upon the class-leading performance of our technology".
The actual maximum application datarate for Edge is lower than the theoretical maximum datarate (236.8Kbit/s) due to protocol overheads.
The difference is consistent with the overheads associated with FTP download.
"There has been some debate about the maximum datarates that are achievable using Edge technology, and with this latest test TTPCom has demonstrated that 216Kbit/s is sustainable", said Richard Walker, Managing Director of the Software Division at TTPCom.
"With such high datarates, network operators and handset manufacturers can start rolling out 3G-style services, such as video streaming, before 3G infrastructure is deployed.
Recently there has been an increase in interest from European network operators who can see the revenue potential from deploying Edge, and customers licensing our technology will be able to launch products by the end of 2004".
