HSPA as a 4G Network Enabler

Two of the world’s leading mobile operators recently announced plans to leverage HSPA technology to enhance the mobile broadband performance of their 3G networks so they can delay their LTE trials and deployments until 2011 or 2012. AT&T and Telstra of Australia both claim to already offer the fastest mobile broadband service in their respective markets, and plan to use software upgrades to increase the data speed available from their HSPA-powered networks. 4G World will provide a unique opportunity to examine the strategies of AT&T and Telstra which are enhancing their existing 3G networks before deploying LTE using new spectrum.
