Vodafone Offers Optimal HSDPA Mobile Broadband Speed
One of the five main mobile broadband operators of the United Kingdom, Vodafone announced on Thursday that it has started upgrading its mobile broadband service to an enhanced HSDPA technology that offers a theoretical optimum 14.4Mbps download speed.
This is a significant news for both Vodafone and the mobile broadband segment of the UK, as the mobile broadband provider takes the credit for the first operator in the country to rollout the highest specification for the 3.5G technology of HSDPA (High-speed Downlink Packet Access).
HSDPA is a variant of the 3rd generation technology, which shall be in the near future superseded by the more advanced 3G variant HSPA+ (HSPA Involved). However, one mobile broadband technology the world is focusing on with great expectations, is the LTE (Long Term Evolution technology).
It is also interesting to note the fact that at present, none of Vodafone’s rival mobile broadband networks operating in Britain offer theoretical maximum speeds of anywhere near what Vodafone provides.
Nevertheless, one fact that readily disappoints the aspiring buyers of the Vodafone HSDPA mobile broadband connections is that the 14.4Mbps theoretical maximum shall never be achieved practically.
According to Jeni Mundy, the technology chief of Vodafone, this network upgrade of the operator meant that the users could be reassured of their consistently boosting their network quality in response to demand.
