T-Mobile confirmed today that the German unit of the mobile operator had recently conducted a live trial of HSDPA in Berlin. In the pilot trial users called up traffic information from the Internet and watched streaming videos from a moving vehicle equipped with a laptop and HSDPA data card. The trail, which was conducted using HSDPA-enabled infrastructure provided by German vendor Siemens and chipsets for the data cards provided by Qualcomm, achieved bandwidth of in excess of 1Mps during the mobile data transfer between the car and transmitter.

T-Mobile Germany's technical director, Joachim Horn, said the trial showed "that HSDPA is past the laboratory stage of the pipeline," and that HSDPA would be launched "on our network from as soon as early next year."
