US : GSA, the Global mobile Suppliers Association, confirms another strong rise in the number of HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) user devices coming onto the market. GSA’s HSDPA Devices survey released today reports 275 products launched so far in 2007, lifting the total to 403 HSDPA-capable devices, and almost 5 times the number reported in a similar GSA survey in September 2006 (84 HSDPA devices). The number of suppliers increased from 26 to 80 in the same period.
GSA’s related HSDPA Operator Commitments survey, published on October 19, 2007 confirms the major trend of network data speed evolution. This survey confirms 147 commercial launches of HSDPA networks in 69 countries. 92 operators i.e. approximately two-thirds of this figure have commercially launched or are deploying 3.6 Mbps (peak) data capability in their networks as the first phase of a planned evolution to 14.4 Mbps (peak) for many operators. 147 HSDPA devices support, or can be upgraded to deliver a downlink capability of 3.6 Mbps peak.
