New HSDPA speed record set by Nortel and Qualcomm

We're sure tales of HSDPA
speed feats will quickly grow old, but it's hard not to mention the recent 7.2Mbps record set by Nortel and Qualcomm. The speed trumps that of most fixed broadband connections, and was accomplished using forthcoming equipment from both manufacturers. Tests were run over all current UMTS spectrum, and the technology will be on display for video streaming at next week's CTIA Wireless tradeshow.
