India's Hutchison to deploy EDGE gear from Motorola

NEW DELHI, India-Motorola Inc. said it has successfully completed EDGE trials with wireless carrier Hutchison Max Telecom and will deploy the technology later this year.

“We were the first operator to offer multi-circle GPRS roaming services early last year in India, as also MMS,” said Asim Ghosh, managing director of Hutchison in India. “Upgrading these services to the higher download speeds provided by EDGE is but the next natural step.”

EDGE allows speed up to 240 kilobits per second and supports applications such as streaming video and other multimedia messaging services.
