Nokia and MobileOne (M1) will demonstrate live mobile data connection supporting 3.6 Mbps at Nokia Connection in Singapore. The first 3.6 Mbps demonstration in Asia reinforces Nokia's technology leadership and showcases developments in High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), an upgrade to WCDMA 3G networks.

With 3.6 Mbps, more and faster data services can be delivered over-the-air as it roughly doubles the speed of what can be achieved with today's maximum HSDPA data rate. In practice, the download time of a typical music file will be less than 10 seconds. The 3.6.Mbps capability will be commercially available from Nokia at the end of June.

Mobile broadband services such as video streaming of, for example, movie trailers will be demonstrated at 3.6 Mbps. The quality of the service will be DVD-like. M1's commercial network equipment, supplied by Nokia, will be used for the demonstration, which will be made from a laptop using a data card.

In WCDMA 3G, Nokia has 59 customers to date. Nokia's high-performing HSDPA is a simple software upgrade to Nokia WCDMA networks, thus enabling cost-effective and fast rollout. In the first phase, Nokia HSDPA offers up to four times faster data services than current 3G, and consequently enhanced quality of service experience. Nokia is a leader in the HSDPA market, with over 20 contracts globally, many of which are in commercial use.

Nokia HSPA is made up of two key technologies, HSDPA and HSUPA, offering breakthrough data speeds theoretically up to 14.4 Mbps in the downlink and up to 5.8 Mbps in the uplink.
