56Mb/s HSPA+ solution from Huawei in 2010

The latest solution will enable download speeds of up to 56Mb/s through a software upgrade.

56Mb/s ??

Hectic, too good to be true

Lets hope they get the pricing competitive enough to steal away more Hellkom copper fools.

You calling me a fool?

Huawei plan, install and network manage Telkom's 3G network and there's a massive expansion about to happen.

Imminent!

This would only make sense if the ISP would make there Data Bundle's the same price as Hellkom

I don't get why there is even a limit on these things....

think out of the box ffs.

ok so one 3G device can do 3.6MB/s from modem to tower?

why not build the modem with 2 chips then? (like 2 modems running in parallel)


Oh, your Telkom line can do 4MB/s? and it's only needs a copper line between you and Telkom Box? well lets put 2 little copper cables there instead of one. heck, lets put a whole bunch of 'em in!

I know it's a bit more complicated then that, but if 1 cable can only send so many signals per second, why not use 8 different cables in parallel?

I mean, why not?

umm Telkom 3G will not be 56Mb/s capable......1500 sites with BRAND new equipment supporting HSPA+ when most phones/datacards dont even support the next step in HS in SA (14Mb/s or even 21 Mb/s)....cant see this happening in the near future.

Also the DL limit exists due to resource availability at each base station. Each station needs to support Voice and data, and there is a higher priority on voice traffic.

Because each 3.6Mbps "channel" increases the noise margin for other users. Each base station can only support a limited number of channels and they would rather 200 people get +-1 Mbps than 10 getting 20Mbps.
