The new speed records in the HSPA-network: 56 Mbps

At CTIA Wireless, which runs from 1 to 3 April in Las Vegas, United States, Ericsson is planning a technology demonstration of the reception-transmission on multiple carriers using MIMO configurations and beat its own record for the HSPA - the new technology provides a transmission speed in a downward channel up to 56 Mbps. This is the next step in the development of HSPA, contributing to further expansion of wireless broadband access.

Increased speed is achieved through a combination of configuration «multiple antennas at the entrance, a few - at the exit» (MIMO) to receive switch simultaneously on multiple carriers. MIMO technology to increase the maximum transmission rate and achieve a more efficient use of spectrum, resulting in increased throughput of the network.

To demonstrate the concept of a router will use Ericsson, supports mobile broadband technology HSPA. This device can be used wherever needed broadband access. It provides for the division of bandwidth among multiple users, and as a result - the effective use of resources, high-speed broadband connection.

HSPA-reception-transmission technology at the same time on multiple carriers using MIMO configuration yet standardized. The introduction of commercial operation scheduled for 2010. During 2009, Ericsson will start the commercial launch of the reception-transmission technology on a few carriers at speeds of 42 Mbps.
