TTPCom achieves 216 kbps download on EDGE network
October 14, 2003
TTPCom, an independent supplier of digital wireless technology, has achieved
a 216 kbps download using its recently announced EDGE module. The download,
which took place on Ericsson’s EDGE infrastructure at their development
site in Sweden, achieved maximum 4 slot, multi-slot class 9 throughput.
TTPCom’s EDGE team downloaded a 10 Mbyte file from the Internet to a
PC, using the EDGE module. The download was repeated using a selection
of files and runs, and the 216 kbps data rate was achieved consistently.
Stephen Molloy, Edge Project Leader at TTPCom stated, “We are really
pleased with this performance. Technically we are operating at the limit
of what can be achieved with EDGE technology, and this achievement is
a testament to the skills and hard work of the whole EDGE team at TTPCom.
The fact that the data rate was so consistently high demonstrates the
underlying quality of TTPCom’s EDGE software and builds upon the class-leading
performance of our technology.”
The actual maximum application data rate for EDGE is lower than the theoretical
maximum data rate (236.8 kbps) due to protocol overheads. The difference
is consistent with the overheads associated with FTP download.
“There has been some debate about the maximum data rates that are achievable
using EDGE technology, and with this latest test TTPCom has demonstrated
that 216 kbps is sustainable,” said Richard Walker, Managing Director
of the Software Division at TTPCom. “With such high data rates, network
operators and handset manufacturers can start rolling out 3G-style services,
such as video streaming, before 3G infrastructure is deployed. Recently
there has been an increase in interest from European network operators
who can see the revenue potential from deploying EDGE, and customers licensing
our technology will be able to launch products by the end of 2004.”
