Newly updated reports on worldwide mobile broadband market developments published by the GSA (Global mobile Suppliers Association) confirm the continuing strong performance of mobile broadband services enabled by HSPA-based systems across the world.<\/p>\n

416 operators have committed to HSPA network deployments in 161 countries. HSPA is the first evolution of WCDMA and has been deployed by more than 99% of WCDMA operators.<\/p>\n

Commercial HSPA services are launched on 380 networks, 20% higher than a year ago. The number of markets where HSPA systems are launched has reached 155 countries, compared to 133 countries one year ago.<\/p>\n

Network data speeds are rapidly evolving:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 247 HSPA networks (65%) support 7.2 Mbps or higher peak downlink capability<\/li>\n
  2. Over 35% of HSPA operators have launched HSUPA for fast data uploading performance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The introduction of evolved HSPA systems – HSPA Evolution, commonly referred to as HSPA+ was the major trend in 2010. HSPA+ networks supporting up to 42 Mbps peak downlink data speed are market reality, and some operators are already preparing to introduce the next evolutionary step of 84 Mbps.Alan Hadden,<\/p>\n

    President of the GSA, said: “HSPA+ is now mainstream. This has been achieved in only 23 months since the first HSPA+ system was commercially launched.  The recent trend was for operators introducing mobile broadband services to launch with HSPA. Most operators entering the market today are going straight to HSPA+.<\/p>\n

    ”HSPA+ systems enable operators to deliver higher capacities and performance levels and contribute to an improved user experience of mobile broadband. 148 HSPA operators, i.e. approaching 40%, have committed to HSPA+ network deployments in 67 countries.<\/p>\n

    A total of 103 operators i.e. more than 1 in 4, have commercially launched HSPA+ systems, in 57 countries.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 79 commercial HSPA+ networks support a peak downlink data speed of 21 Mbps using 64QAM modulation, delivering a typical user experience up to 8 Mbps (depending on device capability)<\/li>\n
    2. 11 commercial HSPA+ networks support 28 Mbps utilizing MIMO technology<\/li>\n
    3. 13 commercial HSPA+ networks support 42 Mbps, which is achieved by combining 64QAM and doubling the bandwidth (DC-HSPA+)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Approximately 1 in 8 HSPA operators have committed to deploy 42 Mbps DC-HSPA+ capabilities on their networks. In addition to 13 systems already commercially launched as mentioned above, the GSA reports confirm at least an additional 32 operator commitments to deploy DC-HSPA+ technology.<\/p>\n

      5 operators have committed to the next HSPA Evolution step of 84 Mbps, which can be realized using a combination of DC-HSPA+ (64QAM) and MIMO. 84 Mbps systems and devices are expected to be commercially introduced in 2012.<\/p>\n
