Mobile Broadband. For today. For the future.
What is Mobile Broadband?Mobile Broadband typically refers to the delivery of end-
user downlink data rates of 500 kbps or more while
providing full mobility.
High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology is already
enabling the delivery of commercial Mobile Broadband
services in excess of such speeds, and is proving itself as the
logical choice for operators wanting to offer Mobile
Broadband services to both urban and rural consumer andenterprise users.
HSPA is theset of technologiesdefining themigration path of
3G/W-CDMA operators worldwide. HSDPA (High Speed
Downlink Packet Access) delivers a 5-10 fold increase in
downlink data rates of standard 3G/W-CDMA networks,
enabling users to access the Internet on mobile phones and
laptops, at speeds previously associated with fixed line DSL.
But HSPA is not just about opening large email attachments
on the go, or updating corporate databases in realtime.
It also provides the ability to stream videos with very
highresolution results, to enjoy a huge variety of multimedia
entertainment services, and to access music online with ease.
With 295 commercial networks launched around the world,
HSPA is today driving development of the Mobile
Broadband sector.
A network enhancement with HSUPA (High Speed Uplink
Packet Access) will dramatically increases the uplink data
rates of today’s current 3G/W-CDMA networks.
This technology is likely to boost the amount of data uploaded
over mobile networks, especially user-generated content.
This clear technology path will ensure that the HSPAfamily
of technologies will continue to dominate alternativeMobile Broadband offerings.
Digital Dividend – planning new spectrum
for rural broadband
Digital Dividend spectrum is low frequency spectrum, in
which radio signals travel long distances and can easily
penetrate the walls of buildings and other obstacles. It is
approximately 70% cheaper to provide Mobile Broadband
coverage over a given geographic area using this low
frequency spectrum than with the 2100 MHz spectrum
widely used f or Mobile Broadband services today.
This makes this spectrum particularly well-suited to
providing Mobile Broadband coverage in rural areas, deep
inside buildings and other hard-to-reach places.

HSPA
HSPA, is the ‘umbrella term’ to include the downlink
enhancement - HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet
Access), and the uplink enhancement - HSUPA (High
Speed Packet Access).
Unlike many other Mobile Broadband technologies, HSPA
provides very efficient voice services in combination with
Mobile Broadband data, enabling mobile operators to
continue to pursue their conventional business models for
voice services whilst at the same time driving new revenues
through increased uptake of high-speed data services.
The very latest HSDPA networks, such as that deployed by
Telstra in Australia, support a downlink peak rate of up to
14.4 Mbps. In most HSDPA networks around the world, the
enduser can expect to enjoy speeds of at least 1Mbps
dependingon how many people are using the network at the
time, how far the user is from the base station and other
factors. Equally important, HSDPAincreases UMTS capacity
approximately three fold, and reduces latency substantially.
HSDPA network services were first deployed in 2005 by
AT&T (formerly Cingular) in the United States and Manx
Telecom in the U.K.
HSUPA vastly improves uplink peak rates, enabling uplink
speeds of up to 5.7 Mbps. HSUPAalso significantly improves
the network capacity, as well as reducing uplink packet
latency to better enable packet-based communication services.
HSPA+
Also known as HSPA Evolution, HSPA+ involves a series of
technical enhancements that can dramatically enhance the
speed and responsiveness of existing HSPA networks, while
potentially doubling their capacity. Telstra, in Australia, has
already commercially launched with peak rates at 21Mbps,
and through 2009 we can expect to see a growing number of operators supporting peak downlink speeds of 21 to 28 Mbps
through HSPA+, with the capacity to upgrade to peak bit
rates of 42 Mbps.
LTE
Designed to be compatible with GSM and HSPA, Long Term
Evolution incorporates MIMO in combination with OFDMA
in the downlink and Single Carrier FDMA in the uplink to
provide peak end user data rates up to 172 Mbps, coupled
with major improvements in capacity and reductions in
latency. Developing in parallel, LTE and HSPA+ are expected
to achieve similar levels of spectral efficiency.The World’s 1st

TanzaniaCommunity shared access to dataHSPA Network: 7.2 Mbps
Vodacom Tanzania is defying the country’s extreme poverty
and bridging the digital divide, by using Mobile Broadband
to deliver low-cost, shared access to the internet. Vodacom’s
7.2 Mbps HSPA network has brought low-cost, ultra fast
internet access to a country that had barely experienced
broadband. Vodacom sees significant potential in lowerARPU segments, driven largely by Vodacom Internet cafes
using Vodacom’s shared access to data services. Housed
within a refurbished shipping container, the shared facilities
have lowered the barriers to access the inter
Sri LankaMobile Broadband for allHSPA Network: 14.4 Mbps
Dialog has leveraged Mobile Broadband technology to
deliver affordable internet access to all levels of society. By
upgrading its 3G network to HSPA it could bring low-cost broadband to homes, businesses and internet cafes in Sri
Lanka. To deliver access to the poorer people, it provides
‘sachet marketing’ allowing regular small pre-paid top-ups.
For thevery bottomof the pyramid, Dialoghas addressed Sri
Lanka’s low PC and internet penetration rates, by
establishingover 25 shared access internet cafes, operated by
a local entrepreneur. Running on their HSPA network, the
cafes provide a low-cost opportunity for the community to
gain a broadband connection and the social and economic
benefits from internet access.
BrazilBroadband access, where
fixed lines don’t reachHSPA Network: 7.2 Mbps
Claro spent much of 2008 expanding its HSPA network
coverage and capacity. By the beginning of the year, only a
few months after the initial launch, many Brazilians were
calling on Claro to provide a Mobile Broadband service in
their neighbourhoods. The volume of data traffic carried on
the network has soared twentyfold since the launch of the
HSPA network. Customers stream or download videos and
swap files – the far more bandwidth hungry applications than
email or web browsing.
“The number of subscribers was a surprise, and the traffic
used by each subscriber was higher than expected. Where
the fixed internet didn’t reach, we reached with 3G [HSPA].”

Middle EastConsumer data-rich applicationsHSPA Network: 14.4 Mbps
United Arab Emirates is accustomed to rapid growth, as has
Etisalat experienced in subscriber volumes since the launch of
its HSPA network. Consumers have had a healthy demand for
content, using Flickr, Youtube and mobile TV from their
handsets. 20% of Etisalat’s HSPA subscribers are watching
Mobile TV. With great success, Etisalat streamed live cricket to
fans’ handsets during the world cup. MobileCam, a remote
monitoring camera, uses video telephony capabilities to keep
an eye on the children, the office or adhoc filming. A wireless,
hand-held HSPA-enabled camera with SIM, is accessed and
controlled by a 3G phone.

AustraliaThe World’s 1st 21 Mbps NetworkHSPA Network: 21 Mbps
The first commercial Mobile Broadband network world-wide
capable of delivering traffic at a blazing 21 megabits per
second– 375 times the speed of a dial-up connection – is now
live in Australia. Before the end of 2009, Telstra expects its
Next G network’s peak transmission rate to rise to 42Mbps
through the use of multi-carrier technology, which enablesusers to receive data simultaneously via two frequency
channels. Telstra’s Next G network is used by consumers and
enterpise customers to deliver a broad range of applications
from health care to mobile TV.
United Statesof AmericaMobilising enterprisesHSPA Network: 7.2 Mbps
When AT&T’s Mobile Broadband services were launched in2005, they were initially aimed at business customers. Early
adopters were attracted to dual-mode HSDPA/EDGE data
cards that plugged directly into laptops giving them super
fast, unlimited connectivity anywhere within its nationwide
footprint. For even greater convenience, notebook
manufacturers began embedding HSPA chips in their
notebooks – so the user doesn’t require an additional
connection device. This is now commonplace in over
350 notebooks.
HSPA plugs rural
broadband gap
The rural American Mid-West is very poorly served by
broadband services. Users rely on dial-up, limited lowspeed
cable and DSL broadband, or expensive satellite and
microwave services. This means that isolated communities
that would greatly benefit from services such as online
healthcare or ecommerce are being left behind.
Why HSPA?The operator chose HSPA for its network after carefully
studying all the options available for wireless broadband
withinits AWS 1700/2100MHz spectrum. “When we started
the project, we planned to use WiMAX, but when looked
deeper into it, we discovered that WiMAX simply wasn’t
advanced enough,” said Ed Evans CEO of Stelera. “We were
concerned about the lack of WiMAX vendors and the more
we dug, the more it looked like vapourware.” The alternative,
HSPA, however, ticked all the boxes for Stelera: there were
many more vendors in the market and it offered a clear
upgrade path through to the very high speed services via
3GPP’s Long Term Evolution (LTE).
Innovative networks such as Stelera’s are essential for
bridging the digital divide in the world’s largest economy.
Stelera has proved that HSPA is well suited for bringing
broadband services to rural communities. It offers much
higher network speeds than comparable fixed technologies
and the vast majority of users are able to access the service
without needing expensive truck roll installation. The
majority-wireless network can be deployed very quickly and
the all-IP architecture keeps the deployment costs low.
