Greece’s third largest cellco TIM Hellas has launched High Speed
Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) services in partnership with
manufacturer Nokia, providing mobile broadband data services at speeds
of up to 1.8Mbps over its W-CDMA 3G network. Its new 3.5G platform
reportedly offers average actual speeds of around 800kbps. In August
Nokia signed an extension to its existing W-CDMA contract with TIM
Hellas to cover the supply of a HSDPA solution and its new ‘Flexi’ base
stations. Under the agreement, the Finnish vendor acts as TIM Hellas’
sole 3G radio network supplier and will also deliver a mobile TV
solution.Source: Telegeography
Opa! I wonder when the USA will be blanketed in mobile broadband that doesn’t cost a kidney.
