(NYSE:T) today announced that, in the next month, the company will deploy High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) technology in the six remaining markets across AT&T's entire 3G (third-generation) wireless broadband network. When done, AT&T will have completed its deployment of HSUPA technology, which complements existing HSDPA technology (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), making AT&T the only U.S. carrier to have fully deployed HSPA technology in its 3G network.<br><br>Today the superfast AT&T 3G network is available in more than 275 markets. By year-end, the AT&T 3G network will be available in nearly 350 markets.<br>--ENDQUOTE--<br><br>So, by the above quote from RTFA, it says that if you have HSDPA now, you should have HSPA when the six remaining markets are closed.  And looks like they're adding another 75 markets in the near future too.  I need to tether my phone and see what speeds I get, even though I generally force my phone to EDGE because the battery usage on HSDPA is more than double that of when on EDGE.  Ah well.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Khaytsus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2008 1:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T closing in on completion of HSUPA upgrade]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</guid><description><![CDATA[yes i do get HSDPA on my N95-3 right now. So how would you tell if the HSPA has been enabled in your area? the uplink speed would go up right? Because my downlink on tethering is already 1Mbps but uplink is 200kbps.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kachra]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2008 2:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T closing in on completion of HSUPA upgrade]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</guid><description><![CDATA[And I keep hearing about the markets they are supposed to be adding, but never a mention of what those markets are.  A few months ago it was 80 new markets.  Apparently they've upgraded 5 of those markets to 3G now since the new number is 75.  <br><br>So where the heck is the list?  <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[xB Owner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2008 1:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T closing in on completion of HSUPA upgrade]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</guid><description><![CDATA[I guess the increased speed is good, but I know HSDPA will wreak havoc on battery life. I currently own a Kaiser and have it configured to only use EDGE, (due to battery consumption), but periodically use 3G when streaming music. I may need to buy a bigger battery and/or carry my a/c power cord everywhere I go. Never the less, I can't really complain. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2008 3:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T closing in on completion of HSUPA upgrade]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/22/atandt-closing-in-on-completion-of-hsupa-upgrade/</guid><description><![CDATA[Remember that you need an HSUPA capable device.

It's 36 hours on EDGE.  However, on EDGE the data connections get dropped during a voice call, so that and the obvious speed difference makes it difficult to decide to force the phone to EDGE or just to charge more often.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Khaytsus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 23rd 2008 2:49PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
