US : 3G Americas will host the HSPA Mobile Broadband Pavilion at CTIA Wireless, April 1-3, in the Las Vegas Convention Center, with the participation of 19 other companies.

3G Americas noted that pavilion guests will see, feel and experience true mobile broadband services and applications on a broad variety of HSPA devices and learn about the evolution path to LTE. HSDPA is the leading mobile broadband technology commercially available today on 182 networks in 79 countries, with more than 400 devices available from 90 suppliers.

The HSPA Mobile Broadband Pavilion will allow attendees to put themselves in real-life scenarios and interact with products and applications that are available today to revolutionize their lives -- at work, at home, in the classroom and on the move. Guests will see many of the 400 different HSDPA devices currently available. Additionally, viewer-selected videos and presentations will be available for technology tutorials and real operator success stories worldwide. The future migration to LTE is exhibited as well as a roadmap to the numerous displays featuring live LTE demonstrations throughout CTIA.

Some of the demonstrations planned for the Pavilion include services that might be used "At Home" such as the "three-screen revolution," using an HSPA femtocell to integrate the home IPTV experience with a mobile device and a PC. "On the Move" applications to be showcased include a file download and upload, laptop Internet browsing, streaming video, IP meetings and group calls.

"In the Classroom" will feature an instant communications application, and "At Work" will showcase live video-sharing between a mobile device and a PC. Another application solution to be shown adapts video streams from off-deck broadband sites for delivery on HSPA devices.

"HSPA is a global reality. We invite you to visit the HPSA Mobile Broadband Pavilion at CTIA and experience the vibrant HSPA ecosystem here today," said Chris Pearson, President of 3G Americas. "At the same time, there is another growing ecosystem for LTE evolving rapidly with its recent 3GPP standards specifications approval. This is an ecosystem of vendors as impressive as that of HSPA, with operators already announcing their future LTE deployments."

Many members of 3G Americas will be present in the Pavilion to demonstrate or discuss HSPA and/or LTE technology. Members of the 3G Americas Board of Governors include: Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, Cable & Wireless, Ericsson, Gemalto, HP, Motorola, Nortel Networks, Nokia, Openwave, Research in Motion (RIM), Rogers, T-Mobile USA, Telcel, Telefonica, and Texas Instruments.

The HSPA Mobile Broadband Pavilion is located in the Central Hall between the North Hall and South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center at CTIA in the 'Road to 4G' zone.
