Sprint EV-DO Revision A Hits 10 New MarketsNew York, Philly, DC, and more... ( old news - 12:32PM Tuesday Dec 12 2006) tags: wireless · bandwidth · networkingSprint says they've upgraded ten additional markets with EVDO Revision A mobile broadband technology as part of their promise to upgrade 21 markets before the end of the year. Today sees the launch of the faster speeds in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Detroit, Denver, Baltimore, Providence and New Jersey. The upgrade increases downstream speeds from 700kbps to 800kbps, upstream speeds from 50-70 kbps to 300-400 kbps and dramatically lowers latency. Still nothing but the sound of crickets from the Verizon camp when it comes to getting their own Revision A upgrades deployed.

Right - which has nothing to do with the actual speed, the 800kb/s which is quite inferior to Cingular's usual startup HSDPA speed at 1.0-1.2Mb/s.BTW that theoretical speed you are trumpeting is around 1/4th of HSDPA's 14Mb/s... Does anybody know what Cingular is using for a backhaul on HSDPA? If their using T1's then you won't come close to 14Mb/s. You won't even get 1.0Mp/s if more than one user is on it at one time. EVDO currently uses T1's, up to 4 max. 4 T1's gives you a pool of 6 Mb/s down and 6 Mb/s up. If HSDPA can pool T1's, it will compete with EVDO; if not, then I don't see it comparing. A fiber backhaul is the only way speeds will increase for both technologies.

If HSDPA can pool T1's, it will compete with EVDO; if not, then I don't see it comparing. A fiber backhaul is the only way speeds will increase for both technologies.
Secondly as long as speed remains assymmetric there's nothing wrong with using all kind of connections. | |

| I have evdo in chicago not yet RevA and it's already at 900-1mbs on average for me. 800 is a very low estimate and only the guaranteed speeds. You'll get no guarantee with HSPDA above 7-900K in real life but you'll get EVDO RevA speeds. Similar only in that you may get a higher HSPDA speed early till you finally catch up in customers. | |

Well that depends on your tastes. Try looking at a 1.5 or a 3.5 screen for an hour. How small your world can be. How tired your eyes can be. Now try on a full 15.4 screen. Its all bigger, complete, and can be enjoyed more. | |

| Cingular HSDPA is fine here. I get a minimum of 880k down. cant say that about Rev A here. Oh wait thats because sprint doesnt have it here yet.
Why dont the DSLR sprint fanboys come out with an article every time Cingular rolls out now locations? The bias around here is ridiculous.

| Re: Cingular HSDPA is fine here. At least EVDO customers can roam on other EVDO networks such as Alltel, Bell Mobility, and if Verizon would have an agreement with Sprint for data roaming, them too. Try data roaming on Cingular HSDPA with Tmobile or any other GSM / HSDPA provider in the world. That won't happen because Cingular is using different frequency spectrum than Tmobile, or any other carrier in the world.
I'd rather be with Sprint and get availability and speed versus just speed in few select markets with Cingular's HSDPA. | |

Sprint now has a data roaming agreement in place with Verizon or one that's now an active one anyways (you need a wireless data roaming capable phone).... its just 1xRTT at the moment but hey its better then nothing...maybe someday they'll open up their evdo network for roaming, but I wouldn't hold my breath. | |

It's about your phone, not your SIM card.
I can roam anywhere with my HTC TyTn but TMO just got into the worst position: they got a brand new frequency.

Any GSM/HSDPA is always late here - but has the technological upper hand, no matter how you look at it. And Sprint's in-house coverage sux here, let alone VZ retarded contract terms. | |

While there are a number of phones that work for voice everywhere, nobody has even attempted to make one with multiple 3G frequencies.

Perhaps YOU should do a little more research pal. UMTS is all but usless in the US, as only approximately 5 markets ever had it (from the old ATT days), and it is being decommissioned as we speak. Furthermore, all of the US is in the process of upgrading from EDGE to HSDPA, which the HTC TyTN does not support. Thirdly, Europe and Asia are all now rolling out HSDPA (and some test markets with HDUPA!), so once again your device falls flat. So basically your phone only works on current EUROPEAN 3G networks; which pretty much supports my argument that there are no global 3G phones yet. I am hope you are happy with your $1000 paper weight as you poke around at EDGE speeds! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Quick summary: US: Virtually no support for UMTS, and it is going away. Well I can see why you are posting these clueless comments - you decide not to look at the fact... FYI: HSDPA is and upgraded UMTS and quite contrary to your beliefs it's coming up here, in the US: Cingular is expanding and TMO is slated to start late next SUmmer.
Europe: Support for UMTS, markets being upgraded to HSDPA
Which is the same UMTS network, and also for my HSDPA phone, yes.
Asia: EVDO and CDMA variants, small support for UMTS. HSDPA upgrades in progress.
Supported by my phone, yes.
HTC TyTN: No HSDPA support. Lets recap. Your phone can make voice calls everywhere, but pretty much only allows for 3G services in Europe. Nice, really nice!

BZZZZZTTT! Wrong again. Your phone is UMTS, NOT HSDPA! Good luck using it here in the States pal. Here is a direct quote from the HTC product page: quote:
Full connectivity with Tri-Band UMTS, Quad-Band EDGE, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Ahhh, not again... HSDPA IS LISTED AS UMTS. If you don't understand it, read reference pages:
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA
"An evolution of the UMTS standard, HSDPA achieves the increase in the data transfer speeds..."
»www.gsmworld.com/technology/3g/e···on.shtml
»www.umtsworld.com/technology/hsdpa.htm
Jesus, wifi.. you didn't bother yourself to read your own link first, did you?
"With the slide-out Qwerty keypad, HSDPA capabilities and a plethora of other connectivity options, this is definitely a Pocket PC to be reckoned with."
For God sake, man: I AM USING HSDPA @1.0-1.2Mb/s EVERY DAY, all the time, here in NYC.
Pull yourself together, man - when you're wrong at least know when to remain silent... | |

| said by inteller :I get a minimum of 880k down. cant say that about Rev A here. Oh wait thats because sprint doesnt have it here yet. I'm able to pull over 2Mbit/s on Rogers HSDPA here, and the network just launched on the 2nd of November. Bell has offered EVDO in Toronto for the last year or so, yet there's no EVDO here. If they don't want my business, that's their loss, I'll go with the better technology.

| UMTS and HSDPA are separate from one another. One can have a UMTS network without HSDPA, and one can have an HSDPA network without UMTS. Rogers up here is migrating their entire GSM network to UMTS as part of the HSDPA rollout, as UMTS handles the RF side a -lot- better than stock GSM.
