Ericsson Mobile and Broadband Internet communications
Ericsson and 3 Scandinavia have performed successful demonstrations of enhanced uplink, also know as HSUPA, being standardized in 3GPP release 6.

This is the first time that enhanced uplink, implemented in a live WCDMA system based on commercial products, is being demonstrated over the air. The demonstration is a further proof of Ericsson leadership in mobile broadband and WCDMA. With the fist evolutionary step of WCDMA, called HSDPA, the focus has been on improving the downlink capacity and bit-rates but Ericsson now also introduces enhancements in the uplink. Demonstrated mobile broadband applications include e-mail uploads at 1.5 Mbps, voice over IP and IP based high quality video conferencing. All applications are efficiently utilizing both HSDPA and Enhanced Uplink. The system is now undergoing extensive laboratory and drive testing.

Ericsson WCDMA IP Enhanced Uplink, or HSUPA, will be introduced on the market in line with terminal availability. Initial terminals and PC-cards will be available on the market during the second half of 2006, with handsets coming early 2007. With the evolution of WCDMA Ericsson stays true to its established tradition of supplying future proof products based on cutting edge technology.

Ericsson WCDMA IP is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the world.
