Alcatel and Fujitsu Show High-Speed Downlink Packet Access

Alcatel and Fujitsu launched a live HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) demonstration system in France. The system is designed for bringing data speeds of up to 14Mbps into existing W-CDMA networks. HSDPA will enable operators to support a considerably larger number of high data-rate users on a single radio carrier. The system, which was developed by Fujitsu based on technical specifications provided by NTT DoCoMo, is located at Alcatel's 3G Reality Centre (3GRC) in Vélizy, France. http://www.alcatel.com
