HSPA - High Speed Packet Access
4WCDMA downlink evolution HSDPA – High Speed Downlink Packet Access, is part of 3GPP/UTRAN-FDD Release 5 WCDMA specifications.4HSDPA delivers similar boost for WCDMA as EDGE does for GSM/GPRS. 4HSDPA boosts air interface capacity by 2 times and delivers a 5-fold increase in downlink data speeds.4HSDPA shortens round-trip time between network and terminals and reduces variance in downlink transmission delay.4No new sites. Add-on solution (low impact on RAN: software upgrade)4WCDMA enhanced uplink - HSUPA, is standardised in 3GPP Release 6
434 commercial HSUPA launches to date in 26 countries

HSUPA: user devices
HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) complements HSDPA and provides benefits to the mobile network operator further capacity increases, enhanced throughput and coverage,
and significantly reduces latency on the uplink
HSUPA offers data speeds up to 5.76 Mbps (peak) on the uplink channel. Together with HSDPA, it means a huge stride in network performance
33 user devices launched support, or can be upgraded for, HSUPA delivering 2.1 Mbps (peak)
Slide no. 33/50GSM/3G Market Update - March 11, 2008
Global mobile Suppliers Association © 2008www.gsacom.com
Further uplink speed improvements will soon be available with Evolved HSPA, otherwise known as “HSPA Evolution”
or “HSPA+” systems
HSPA Evolution will bring end-user data rates up to 40 Mbps in the near future, with the transmission of multiple parallel
data streams to a single terminal using Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technologies. MIMO uses multiple transmit
and receive channels and antennas to improve performance and throughput for radio signals to double downlink data
speeds up to 28 Mbps. With further modifications, data rates can reach 40 Mbps on a 5 MHz carrier.

HSPA will continue to dominate mobile broadband
Alternative technologies contribute 6 percent
New alternative technologies will contribute just 6 percent of mobile broadband users globally by 2010
Technologies such as mobile WiMAX and UMTS TDD will lead the alternative technology camp, but enhancements to existing technologies, including HSPA and EV-DO Revision A+ will comprise the bulk of the market and are where the money lies in the short-term

HSPA set to exceed 56 million by end-2008
July 12, 2007: www.telecoms.comInforma Telecoms & Media predicts there will be over 56.8 million HSPA subscribers worldwide by end 2008
The take-up of HSPA is faster than initial WCDMA growth, driven by the success of HSPA-enabled PC cards, USB modems and HSPA-capable phones. Whereas it took almost 3 years for WCDMA to exceed 7 million, with HSPA this figure was reached in 15 months.

The majority of WCDMA-HSPA networks are complemented with GSM/EDGE for service continuity in areas where WCDMA-HSPA coverage is not available, to ensure that users will receive a good experience of most 3G services
EDGE delivers typical user data speeds up to 300 kbps peak
138 out of 220 HSDPA deployments (62.7%) combine with GSM/EDGE
107 of 185 commercially launched HSDPA operators (57.8%) also launched EDGE
