Nokia speeds 3G in France and Poland

Orange France has launched the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) services in Toulouse and Bordeaux and Polish mobile operator Polkomtel is launching its commercial HSDPA network in the Warsaw area.

Nokia is supplying the HSDPA upgrade for both operators.

“We believe that HSDPA will be yet another improvement to the experience of Orange mobile users, not only in terms of higher bit rates, but also because of a better latency, enhanced usability of current applications and enabling new types of real-time applications, in particular in the enterprise sector. This means, for example, that a typical music song can be downloaded in 20 seconds with HSDPA, while it would last a bit less than two minutes with WCDMA,” says Damien Sant�, Account Director, Networks, Nokia.
