Mobile/Cellular Technology - Cingular Wireless UMTS / HSDPA Network, USA

Mobile/Cellular Technology - Cingular Wireless UMTS / HSDPA Network, USA: "n November 2004 Cingular Wireless announced that it would commercially launch UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) services in 2005. HSDPA is an enhanced version of UMTS which will ultimately support theoretical maximum peak data speeds of up to 14.4Mbps. The company intends to build upon AT&T Wireless's six-market UMTS launches to begin the expansion of a major city and suburban 3G network during 2005, which should allow nationwide coverage in most metropolitan areas by the end of 2006. Cingular Wireless's closest competitors in 3G technology in the US are Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS."

乖乖,14.4Mbps,哈哈足够Mobile用了赫赫,Thinkpad Z60好像内置了天线支持HPDPA(High speed downlink packet access)大概支持8-10Mbps,就算80%左右也要800K了,够了!可以爽了不知道3G网络什么时候铺好
