T-Mobile promises ‘modernizations’ to the 3g network

Just like KPN and Vodafone want T-Mobile 3g network, further modernize. The way in which that will happen through, for example, dual carrier-hsdpa+, such as KPN and Vodafone, remains to be seen. Details about the modernisation of want to T-Mobile later lost.

In the last week, it announced that both KPN and Vodafone to start the roll-out of dual carrier-hsdpa+, a technique for 3g connections to speed up to a theoretical maximum of 42Mbit/s. When prompted, wants to spokesman Michael Fox of T-Mobile does not specify whether his company the same plan. However, promises Fox that the provider’s 3g network, will continue to ‘modernise’. “So we want to customers both in terms of capacity and in terms of coverage even better mobile internet”, says the spokesperson.

Dual carrier-hsda+ is going a step further, and works with new antennas and software to maintain two simultaneous connections with a phone.

That the company nevertheless its 3g network and want to modernize it, is probably because existing devices can take advantage of.
