Honest 836 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 Nokia Siemens Double EDGE Speeds Nokia Siemens Networks' Dual Carrier EDGE solution, which will be available as a software upgrade, is the first step in evolving EDGE. Dual Carrier is based on the 3GPP release 7 standard. As a strong innovator of EDGE Evolution, Nokia Siemens Networks already has additional plans to introduce in its networks the next substantial step, the so called EGPRS 2B, to further double the end user experience in up- and downlink performance. This will result in downlink speeds of up to 1.2 Mbps and will double uplink speed to up to 473 kbps, thus quadrupling the capabilities of EDGE today. GSM/EDGE operators can serve their customers even better using the Dual Carrier solution as the demand for data services and connectivity is booming, proven by the steep increase on mobile broadband traffic in 3G/HSPA networks today. With Dual Carrier solution, 3G/HSPA operators can offer better service continuity for their data services. Courtesy : Techtree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
