What is DC HSPA+?
DC- HSPA+ is a further evolution of HSPA+ that offers data speeds of up to 42 Mbps. This is the next evolution of 3G technology from HSPA+ (3.75G). The theoretical Maximum speed that can be achieved with the Dual Carrier -HSPA+ technology, is 42 Mbps. speed of 21 Mbps in HSPA+ technology.
What is Telstra HSPA?
HSPA+ Dual Carrier technology is designed to an engineering standard of peak network downlink speeds of 42Mbps. The speeds achieved during our test – on a dedicated, closed test network – highlight that the technology can indeed deliver speeds approaching that specification.
What frequency does Telstra 4GX use?
Well, today Telstra officially unveiled its new mobile network technology 4GX which is essentially the new Next-G network for 4G. Just like Next-G was a fancy name for Telstra’s 850 MHz 3G network, 4GX is a fancy name for its new 700 MHz 4G network.
What is the difference between UMTS and HSPA?
UMTS can offer peak download speed of up to 2 Mbps and average download speed of 384 kbps. HSPA can offer peak download speed of up to 14.4 Mbps and average download speed of around 5 Mbps. HSPA+ can offer peak download speed of up to 42 Mbps and average download speed of 5-8 Mbps.
Is UMTS better than HSDPA?
UMTS has a theoretical maximum data transfer of 21 Mbits/s (in the HSDPA form). However, for those currently using UMTS handsets, an expected transfer rate of 384 kbit/s and 7.2 Mbit/s is a more accurate expectation for R99 handsets and HSDPA handsets, respectively.
Which is faster HSPA or UMTS?
UMTS can offer peak download speed of up to 2 Mbps and average download speed of 384 kbps. HSPA can offer peak download speed of up to 14.4 Mbps and average download speed of around 5 Mbps.
Does Telstra support UMTS?
Telstra 3G (NextG) NextG is Telstra’s 3G offering. It operates on the 850 Mhz frequency in all areas (with some busy areas more recently using 2100Mhz for extra capacity). For full NextG support throughout Australia, you should get a phone that supports UMTS 850.
Is 4GX the same as 5G?
Telstra’s 4GX is an advanced, upgraded version of the existing 4G network, with increased speed and coverage. While the upcoming fifth-generation (5G) mobile network technology is expected to be up to a hundred times faster than the existing 4G technology, it isn’t yet readily available.
What kind of UMTS signal does Telstra use?
It comes down to the support of 850MHz UMTS. This is the primary signal that is used for voice and data traffic in regiional Australia by Telstra. Optus uses 900MHz UMTS for the same type of service (although geographic coverage is significantly less).
What is the purpose of DC HSPA / DC-HSPA?
DC-HSDPA / DC-HSPA seeks to provide resource allocation and optimisation. This joint resource allocation over multiple carriers requires dynamic allocation of resources to achieve the higher peak data-rates per HSDPA user within a single Transmission Time Interval (TTI), as well as enhancing the terminal capabilities.
What kind of frequencies does Telstra use for 3G?
These appear to be the UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+ frequencies for Telstra (3G): 850 MHz; 2100 MHz; This appears to be the GSM /EDGE frequency for Telstra (2G): 900 MHz . As I said, I’m personally interested in the LTE frequencies though and what Bands they correlate to. And I’d like to get this informaiton actually from Telstra.
How many carriers are available for DC-HSDPA?
DC-HSDPA seeks to take apply this principle to the multiple carriers that may be available to an operator. Often UMTS licences are issued in paired spectrum of either 10 MHz or 15 MHz blocks – two or three carriers, for uplink and downlink.
