Products & Services: Wireless Networks Technology Rev. B
Using multicarrier, Rev. B triples existing data rates for all users in the cell including those at the cell edge. It also doubles the capacity for bursty applications such as web browsing.
The second phase of a Rev. B upgrade raises downlink peak rates to an amazingly fast 14.7 Mbps by employing the commercially available CSM6850 cell station modem. This highly optimized modem supports four carriers on a single card, lowering deployment cost for operators. Phase 2 also introduces BTS interference cancellation, which increases uplink capacity by ~65%.
Qualcomm’s wide range of chipsets has helped populate and accelerate the Rev. B device market with everything from USB dongles/ modems to feature phones and smartphones.
