US : Lucent Technologies has completed upgrades of Cingular Wireless' third-generation UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks in Seattle and Phoenix to support HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology. Cingular is now using the HSDPA networks to provide simultaneous voice and mobile high-speed data service for customers currently subscribed to its UMTS service in those markets. Lucent also is upgrading additional key markets across the United States and is poised to support Cingular's initial rollout of this advanced network, which supports high-bandwidth multimedia services including streaming video, downloads of high-resolution images and other large files, and interactive services and applications such as gaming in the mobile environment. When used with HSDPA capable devices, Cingular customers will receive average data connection speeds between 400-700 kilobits per second with bursts over a Megabit. "The successful upgrade of the Seattle market is just an indication of what Cingular plans to deliver to its mobile customers around the country," said Joe McCarthy, vice president of sales for Lucent Technologies. "We're working hard to ensure that Cingular Wireless will deliver new, powerful revenue-generating multimedia services in all of the markets Lucent supports in a timely fashion."
