Vodacom has launched dual-carrier high-speed uplink packet access (DC-HSUPA).<\/p>\n
“Mobile network providers spend a lot of resources improving download speeds on the 3G and 4G networks and this has resulted in better download speeds whilst upload speeds have not improved at the same rate,” said Vodacom.<\/p>\n
DC-HSUPA will\u00a0offer customers faster upload speeds, enhancing the experience\u00a0of\u00a0using social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, said Vodacom.<\/p>\n
The technology\u00a0overcomes the one-carrier limitation and enables uplink data to be transmitted over two 5MHz carriers, allowing for a higher upload\u00a0data rate.<\/p>\n
It\u00a0offers double the uplink peak rate compared to a single-carrier uplink peak rate on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks – so the uplink peak data rate can be increased from 5.76Mbps to 11.5Mbps.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re noticing an upsurge in the usage of social media networks on our networks and it was crucial for us to improve uplink data speeds,” said Andries Delport, chief technology officer at Vodacom.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re doing what other networks haven\u2019t done in SA in order to provide our customers with improved speeds on social media platforms.”<\/p>\n
Vodacom has launched DC-HSUPA technology on its network, doubling the peak upload speeds subscribers can get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":172854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[36,39414,41],"class_list":["post-183844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cellular","tag-active","tag-dual-carrier-high-speed-uplink-packet-access-dc-hsupa","tag-vodacom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183844"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183844"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183844\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":183846,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183844\/revisions\/183846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
