Data Capacity Comparisons
Peak Network Downlink
Speed
Average User Throughputs for File Downloads
Capacity Other Features
GPRS 115 kbps 30 – 40 kbps
EDGE 473 kbps 100 – 130 kbps Double that of GPRS Backward compatible with GPRS
UMTS - WCDMA
2Mbps 220 - 320 kbps Increased over EDGE for high-bandwidth applications
Simultaneous voice and data operation, enhanced security, QoS, multimedia support, and reduced latency
UMTS - HSDPA 14 Mbps 550-1100 kbps Two and a half to three and a half times that of WCDMA
Backward compatible with WCDMA
CDMA2000 1XRTT
153 kbps 50-70 kbps
CDMA2000 1XEV-Data Optimized (DO)
2.4 Mbps 300-500 kbps Optimized for data, VoIP in development
Throughput wars are meaningless; the Customer Experience is what counts Customer Experience depends on:
The application design (e.g. chattiness, size of transfers) The product of throughput and latency of the network
