Technology Beyond 3G

Some of the world's wireless companies are pushing high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), an even more sophisticated technology than 3G. At the CommunicAsia trade show, wireless phone manufacturers, such as Samsung and Ericsson, discussed a range of technologies that go beyond 3G. The companies say HSDPA will provide faster download speeds than current 3G systems, allowing users to surf the Web and watch videos of much higher quality on their wireless phones.
