Rogers Wireless Firing Up HSDPA Network, No PDA Support Yet
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 05:00 PM
"Rogers Wireless, Canada’s biggest GSM provider, has just announced their delivery of High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) in Canada. HSDPA is a next generation wireless technology (3.5G) that allows you to send and receive data quickly (up to 3.6MB/s in downlink). This makes mobile computing such as web browsing or emailing practical instead of just bearable. “For mobile workers, HSDPA is the great equalizer,” said John Boynton, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Wireless. “Whether you’re in the office or on the road will no longer dictate how fast you can access your data. From now on, wireless subscribers can enjoy high-speed mobile Internet and multimedia downloads at speeds previously possible only on a wired connection.” Currently available in the greater Toronto region (more cities to follow next year), Rogers’ HSDPA service will work on your laptop in conjunction with the Sierra Wireless AirCard 860."
This is great news, because the laggard GSM/EDGE network is sadly outdated. Bring on the PDA support!
