Cingular Upgrades Three 3G networks

Network equipment partners Lucent and Ericsson today announced they have completed 3 upgrades to what was originally AT&T's UMTS network. 3G networks in Seattle, Phoenix and Dallas / Fort Worth have all been upgraded to support HSDPA in order to be a part of Cingular's launch, expected next month. Although the networks are now capable of higher speeds, users will not see any gains until they can upgrade to new handsets or PC cards that can take advantage of the HSDPA protocol.

Its a little like the Sprint-Nextel thing where you can't take advantage of their combined coverage until the hybrid iDEN-CDMA phones come out, and then you gotta go get a new phone.

Actually, it's no different from any other company. You have to have an EV-DO phone in order to take advantage of Verizon Wireless's EV-DO coverage. You have to have an HSDPA phone in order to take advantage of Cingular's HSDPA coverage. You have t...
