NEC HSDPA system selected by 3 Hong Kong
Apr 07, 2006 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- The HSDPA system developed jointly by IT and communications solutions providers NEC and Siemens, has been selected for deployment in 3 Hong Kong's 3G network.
The contract was awarded by 3 Hong Kong following a successful field trial on its UMTS network. NEC's HSDPA-based UTRAN reportedly reached a high level of performance and functionality during the trial, including high-speed Internet access, consecutive data transmission and handover in a HSDPA service environment. It also enabled variable and flexible transmission speed changes.
NEC confirmed it is ready to deploy its HSDPA around the world to commercial networks and claimed it has delivered many 3G networks to Hutchison already, following the launch of Europe's first commercial service in the UK in 2003. The company intends to introduce additional HSDPA operation trials in Asia and Europe, through partnerships with local mobile operators.
