It's Fast
For those who thirst for technical specifics, here is what Nokia and AT&T did on Thursday: The companies used a prototype Nokia EDGE handset connected with a laptop to make the data call.
The call was made using the 1900 MHz Nokia UltraSite base station and the release '99 standard that will be available for commercial deployment of GSM/EDGE. For the truly technically adept, the call used EDGE 8-PSK modulation in both directions in the air interface. >
Seems to be a little something missing. How far from the base station, what was the signal strength, what was the speed, how many slots, what coding, how much delay (ping time for instance), how many retries? How much data, etc. What did the prototype phones look like? At least it was not at baseband.
BTW, if for fun, some one were to put two Nokia posters on ignore and go through the posts 10 at a time, there would be multiple screens with no text;-) |
