CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom-Using Its EDGE module, TTPCom, said it has achieved a 216 kilobits per second download on L.M. Ericsson’s infrastructure.
“There has been some debate about the maximum data that are achievable using EDGE technology, and with this latest test, TTPCom has demonstrated that 216 kbps is sustainable,” said Richard Walker, managing director of the software division at TTPCom. “With such high data rates, network operators and handset manufacturers can start rolling out 3G-style services, such as video streaming, before 3G infrastructure is deployed.”
