Global HSPA connections will pass the 150 million mark by the end of the summer, according to figures released today by the GSM Association.
The technology has now been rolled out by more than 300 networks across 127 countries with 1500 HSPA enabled devices readily available, firmly establishing itself as the world’s dominant mobile broadband technology and the fastest adopted mobile technology of all time.
“The tremendous success of HSPA demonstrates the enormous ongoing demand for truly mobile broadband access, said Dan Warren,” Director of Technology, GSMA. “HSPA’s leading position is not just important to the mobile industry – by using a single technology for mobile broadband services globally, we avoid the fragmentation that limits its potential to improve the quality of people’s lives.”
