Ericsson has just signed an agreement with Japanese MNO to expand and upgrade it’s HSPA network. Ericsson will provide e-HSPA (enhanced HSPA) on new and existing base stations in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka – all high traffic areas.
It would seem that the infrastructure vendors are now looking at expanding in to developing markets, but also boosting the speed of existing networks. Recently I touched upon network wins for NSN and AlcaLu in China, plus also Telstra’s experiments with e-HSPA. And I re-iterate my last request – gimme me some e-HSPA in the UK please!
