Super 3G

While we in India still are struggling with 3G auctions and subsequent rollout, Vodafone has announced that they have tested successfully Super 3G.

Typically 3G is expected to attain a peak download speed of 7.2 Mbps; Vodafone along with Ericsson and Qualcomm have demonstrated achieving peak download speed of 16Mbps (yes you have read it right; here in India this is unthinkable even on fixed broadband). They are expecting to achieve 21Mbps in the next trial scheduled. These are part of HSPA+ standards they are working on.

And to think of the fact they still don't call it 4G; what would be their goal for 4G standard. Any guesses?
