Faster than UMTS speed
May 12, 2003
Telecom groups may soon be offering wireless broadband at 19.2Mbit speeds
using 3G technology
R&D labs are scrambling to transform 3G mobile networks into last mile
solutions rivaling the best wired broadband networks as telcos come to
grips with lack of consumer interest in 3G mobile services and a likelihood
of no payback on their multi-billion dollar investments in the spectrum.
One company, Arraycom, is already testing "next generation infrastructure"
in Sydney, hoping to cash in on Australia's poor efforts in Broadband
roll out, combined with keen interest in mobile services and early adoption
of dial-up internet.
ArrayComm's Katie Juran said that the company had actually benefited
from the 3G auction process: "The Australian government's decision to
auction paired (suitable for voice) and unpaired (data only) spectrum
separately was world-leading. This was the spectrum that ArrayComm bought
to deploy i-BURST."
ArrayComm is not the only company working on a mobile network that will
offer speeds that rival our existing high speed services. A Bell Labs
research team in Sydney is developing equipment that is "...receiving
data in a 3G mobile network at a blazing 19.2 Mbps." By comparison, today's
fastest 3G networks, offer maximum speeds of roughly 2.5 Mbps.
Flarion, another 3G broadband developer, is also boasting higher speeds
and access to existing internet services that 3G cannot offer, at a tenth
the cost of 3G. SK Telecom in Korea is trialing it this month.
