America's First WCDMA Call

Posted by timothy on from the watson-i-need-broadband dept.

k-hell writes "Ericsson and AT&T Wireless recently completed the first WCDMA/UMTS call in a live network environment in the Americas, capable of data transfer speeds of up to 384 Kbps. AT&T Wireless and Ericsson currently pursuing the path to 3G capabilities in the U.S. market by deploying EDGE-ready GSM/GPRS systems. This path ensures an evolution to EDGE, then UMTS, a wideband radio technology that provides mobile users with data rates up to 2 Mbps." This is not yet a strong enough reason to move to Dallas, though.

    Maybe it's not a 'geek' enough reason, but it's warm and the Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleaders are there.

    Granted, the Cowboy's aren't the Packers, but the cheerleaders aren't either :P
