Smart Communications Inc. is preparing for the nationwide rollout of a faster 3G Technology - that means better speed.
Dubbed as 'HSPA850', a type of high-speed packet access (HSPA) technology under the 3.5G platform, the new platform is capable of speed as fast 14 megabits per second (Mbps)
Consumers can take advantage of the HSPA850 technology in three ways: Via compatible mobile handsets, a PC with a USB modem and a PC with an HSPA850 modem or Wi-Fi router.
These devices must have an HSPA850-enabled SIM card as well as HSPA850 coverage to work.
As of now, compatible mobile devices include the Blackberry Bold 9000, HTC TYTN II, the Sony Ericsson K850i and W760i, and the Nokia 6120c, 6500s, 6500c, 3120c, 6600s and E51.
