Mobile Broadband
Mobile Broadband is a wireless data communication technology that utilizes lower frequency radio spectrum (cell networks) and can thus deliver internet access to almost anywhere. The service is usually accessed through a mobile phone, USB Modem / Dongle (pictured on the right) or PCMCIA card.
Mobile services are typically delivered over a wide range of radio frequency spectrum bands (e.g. 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2.6GHz etc.), most of which can also reach indoors; albeit only to a limited degree. As a basic rule, lower spectrum bands (e.g. 900MHz) can reach further (outdoors) with their
signals than higher ones (e.g. 1800MHz). Speeds range from 384Kbps (Kilobits per second) to 14Mbps+ (Megabits per second) downstream via the most common High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology and will go much faster with LTE in the future (100Mbps+).
To better explain this we've listed the best possible theoretical download speeds by mobile standard below (oldest first): Mobile Data Communications Standards and Speeds:
* Basic GSM (2G) – 14.4Kbps Download
* GPRS (2G) - 48Kbps Download
* EDGE (2G) - 236Kbps Download
* UMTS (3G / IMT-2000) - 384Kbps Download [64Kbps upstream]
* HSPA (3G / IMT-2000) - 14.4Mbps Download [5.8Mbps upload]
* HSPA+ (3G / IMT-2000) - 84Mbps Download [22Mbps upload]
