[edit] Is it a GSM or CDMA or other?

I'm confused. Is this in the GSM or the CDMA family. (i.e. as an ordinary person, is it AT&T/Cingular/T-Mobile/whatever or Sprint/Credo/whatever?). Or is it something else and incompatible with existing cell networks? --Treekids (talk) 18:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Meaningless sentence

Chaps & chapesses, the sentence:

'HSDPA provides a smooth evolutionary path for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks jack is a rates and higher capacities.'

is absolutely meaningless! dutchdavey 18Apr2006

I have no idea what's going on here. Twinxor 09:03, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

I don't really think the Adoption section is meaningful anymore, HSDPA networks and WAN using them have become pretty mainstream everywhere, you can't list all the phones. Notebooks seem to be less notable, and so does the rest. It would be better to just update the List of Deployed HSDPA networks. 1wonjae 04:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Laptops

The sentence: 'Dell began releasing, in June 2006, laptops with in-built HSDPA chips from Vodafone, ...' etc.

is misleading. Vodafone does not manufacture chips at all. They sell OEMed data-cards and modules from Option and others.

[edit] 20Mbps

I think HSDPA can reach 20Mbps when 64-QAM is used, not necessary for MIMO.

[edit] More Slow

Especially considering that KDDI's CDMA2000 is generally considered as being much more successful and smooth than DoCoMo's and Vodafone's UMTS / wCDMA introduction in Japan, which are much more slow than initially hoped.

Which is slower (more slow), deployment or data network throughput?

[edit] Copyright Violation?

The first two paragraphs are copied verbatim from http://www.umtsworld.com/technology/hsdpa.htm which http://www.umtsworld.com/umts/legal.htm claims is umtsworld's property. Haven't looked further, so it is possible that umtsworld took it from (for example) the standards themselves, and have just forgot to reference their own source. Regardless, probably needs clarifying.

I removed the copyrighted material. It was inserted by 208.25.178.242 on 11/18/04. I replaced it with the introduction from the edit before that. -- Kjkolb 00:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First HSDPA network?

I´ve read this

http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/Feb2006/2683.htm

and apparently there´s already an HSDPA network... in Portugal, EU... An update to the article in wikipedia?

Thank you.

Bold text== Phones ==

  • Samsung SGH-Z560

What is it with this??

[edit] Deployment

I think it's time we moved the deployment-stuff to it's own article by now. After all, you don't see all the hundreds of different GSM/3G networks listed under their respective articles. Leave only some basic info like the first network, current fastest one, number of networks in place atm, etc. How do u guys think? --Darin-0 22:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I have to say that people are going over the top with lists of deployments in most articles concerning mobile technologies. I don't mind there being something articles entitled "List of operators that have deployed X" but it's somewhat long and makes it harder to navigate when it's incorporated into the main article.

[edit] Acronym

Various sources state the acronym HSPDA stands for High Speed Download Packet Access, High Speed Data Packet Access, and even High Speed Download Packet Applications, in addition to High-Speed Downlink Packet Access as is it written in this article. Makes me think of DSL (digital subscriber loop/line) or ISDN (Integriertes Sprach- und Datennetz/Integrated Speech and Data Net/Integrated Services Digital Network). Not sure if the variations above (and possible others) are worth mentioning here? ntennis 00:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3.5G

3.5G redirects here but isn't explained. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.9.8 (talk) 16:44, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I changed the redirect to point to Beyond 3G. Some sources do refer to HSDPA as 3.5G, perhaps this article should mention it. Mathiastck (talk) 18:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
