Megaphone starts in [Tatarstane] technology HSPA+

On August 27 within the framework the development of the networks of the third generation operator [MegaFon] declared about the starting into commercial operation technology HSPA+ in Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny. HSPA+ (from Engl. High Of speed Of packet Of access - the high-speed package transmission of data) - the technology of wireless wide-band radio communication, which uses package transmission of data and which is been superstructure to the mobile networks WCDMA/UMTS, which conditionally carries to the intermediate generation of mobile connection 3,75G.

Key advantage of technology - high speed of transmission of the data: HSPA+ ensures an increase in the capacitance of network, due to what the duration of the response of network is reduced, the speed of the load of pages increases 1,5. Because of the introduction HSPA+ for the subscribers of megaphone in Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny is accessible a maximally permitted speed of 16 Mbit/s, instead of that previously established by 8 Mbit/s.

As noted the director of regional department in the republic Of [tatarstan] of the Volga branch of joint stock company “megaphone” Igor [Azurov], the modernization of network 3G will lead to an increase in the capacitance of network, and, which means, the speed of transmission of data, in this case the introduction of technology HSPA+ will become intermediate stage upon transfer from networks 3G to 4G.
