Practical 7, woots!

Time files, its Practical 7 already. I'm starting to like UIR more and more. Its definitely an easy subject.

Anyways, lets get on with today's work! I used Practical 7 to do up some research for my assignment 2 and learnt a lot from it.

I started researching on 3.5G, a.k.a HSDPA, and 3.75G, a.k.a HSUPA.

So, what exactly is HSDPA/HSUPA?
This is why I'm blogging here, cos I'm like the smart one who knows all and your, the sheep will follow me to learn more!

Without further ado,

Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), also known as 3.5G, is a mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.4 Mbit/s. Applications with high data demands such as video and streaming music are the focus of HSDPA

In layman's term you pay more each month to Singtel/StarHub/M1 if you want to enjoy faster mobile surfing, video and music streaming.

High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) also known as 3.75G is a mobile telephony protocol in the HSPA family with up-link speeds up to 5.76 Mbit/s. The 3GPP does not support the name 'HSUPA' created by Nokia, but instead uses the name Enhanced Uplink (EUL).The technical purpose of the Enhanced Uplink feature is to improve the performance of uplink to increase capacity and throughput and reduce delay.

In layman's term you pay more each month to Singtel/StarHub/M1 if you want to enjoy faster mobile surfing, video and music streaming.
