Lucent Technologies Completes China's First Field Trial of HSDPA Technology on 3G W-CDMA Network in Shanghai; HSDPA Demonstrations at ELE/PT COMM China 2005 Trade Show in Shanghai Highlight Lucent's 3G Leadership
SHANGHAI, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)----At the ELE/PT COMM China 2005 trade show today, Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) announced it successfully completed the first field trial of High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology in China, conducting a series of data calls - including demonstrations of live TV and video-on-demand services - on a third-generation (3G) W-CDMA trial network deployed by China Netcom in Shanghai.
The HSDPA-enabled 3G trial network also is supporting live demonstrations at the Lucent booth (#A101) that include DVD-quality streaming video and fast downloads of very large files. The network is based on Lucent's end-to-end commercial W-CDMA (also known as UMTS) solution, which incorporates HSDPA.
"This successful test reaffirms Lucent's leadership in HSDPA technology and paves the way for the deployment of our HSDPA solutions in China," said Mary Chan, vice president for global mobility research and development, Lucent Technologies. "We look forward to continuously working with our service provider partners to make more exciting, new mobile broadband services available to Chinese consumers and enterprises."
For the end-to-end W-CDMA trial network, Lucent provided its Flexent(R) OneBTS(R) base stations -- which support HSDPA -- Flexent Radio Network Controller, as well as its W-CDMA packet core solution including Lucent's Flexent Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN).
Lucent's Bell Labs-developed HSDPA solution is currently capable of supporting peak data speeds of up to 7.6 Megabits per second (Mbps), however the maximum speeds supported by the current generation of mobile devices is 1.8 Mbps. Future upgrades of HSDPA will provide theoretical maximum peak data speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps.
The enhanced data transmission capabilities of HSDPA will enable W-CDMA operators to support high-bandwidth data services and introduce blended "lifestyle" voice, data and video services, and will also dramatically increase the number of data users their networks can support, maximizing the use of an operator's available spectrum. For example, HSDPA will enable operators to support up to six times more users than W-CDMA in the same spectrum - at substantially higher average data rates.
Lucent recognized the cost and efficiency benefits of HSDPA technology at an early stage. As a result, Lucent's W-CDMA systems require only a software upgrade to support HSDPA, allowing operators to compete effectively and differentiate themselves in increasingly competitive markets. In addition, Lucent was among the first to trial HSDPA technology in a commercial environment.
Lucent is accelerating the commercial deployment of HSDPA technology by offering a clear and seamless path to HSDPA via its W-CDMA platform, conducting extensive demonstrations and tests for performance assessment, and working with device manufacturers on compatibility testing.
