story category Verizon Unveils EVDO Revision A
Scattered deployment of new standard
(old news - 11:43AM Thursday Feb 01 2007)
tags: business · wireless · bandwidth
While our users say the upgraded network has been live in several markets for a few months now, Verizon officially announced their EVDO Revision A upgrades today. Verizon's implementation of the next incarnation of EVDO should provide lower latency, as well as downstream speeds between 400 and 800kbps and upstream speeds between 300 and 400kbps. "The network enhancements will launch initially in Mass., including Boston and its suburbs, the Richmond and Hampton Roads, Va. areas, Chicago and its suburbs and including Gary, Ind., Salt Lake City and other cities in Utah, as well as in Florida throughout the state’s entire existing area of Verizon Wireless’ wireless broadband network."

Under stated coverage

They actually left out many markets and states that actually have Rev A service. Basically any market switched to EVDO from 1xRTT in the last 2-3 months is Rev A. Sprint and Verizon are definitely taking different approaches there as Sprint is still upgrading to Rev 0 to later be switched to Rev A while Verizon is switching straight to Rev A but just now announced they have it, odd if you ask me.

Please provide a link to prove your post. evdoinfo.com doesn't show this so there must be someplace where you got your data. Thanks.

I don't understand....

We have KPC650 (Kyocera) wireless cards using EVDO in the Sacramento area. I ran bandwidth tests on them inside Sacramento, and had sustained speeds of 500Kbps. This was well over a year ago. Rev A is between 400 and 800Kbps? It doesn't sound all that much faster than the 500Kbps we're already getting. Did I miss something?

Thanks for mentioning that... I am in the East Bay and been working off of EVDO for quite a while now and regularly get 500 downstream... I guess I am wondering the same thing as you.

Maybe that will get even better? The upstream sure looks like it will be faster... and lower latency is always a big plus... I thought Rev A was going to be a lot faster than this... oh well... maybe next time... rev b c or d.
