3 Scandinavia is upgrading its 3G/WCDMA networks with HSDPA. The upgrade will boost 3’s mobile broadband offering, delivering a download speed of up to 3.6 Mbps and pioneer the HSDPA technology in Scandinavia.

Ericsson will deliver commercial HSDPA hardware, software and implementation services. Deliveries have already begun, with a scheduled commercial launch in selected Swedish and Danish cities in the coming months.

Ericsson’s HSDPA solution will enable peak download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps. The advanced technology offers operators more than double the system capacity and makes response times for interactive services faster. On average, users will be able to download four times faster than the current 3G connection using existing PC-cards and even 20 times faster than with a GSM/GPRS connection.
