Cingular HSDPA Networks to Support Sierra AC860
October 25th, 2005
Sierra Wireless today announced a supply agreement with Cingular to deliver the Sierra Wireless AirCard 860 3G wireless wide area network (WAN) card for HSDPA networks to Cingular for use on the company’s HSDPA network. The AirCard 860 will function on all data technologies supported by Cingular including HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE and GPRS. The AirCard 860 utilizes the 850 and 1900 MHz UMTS frequency bands and offers average data rates of 400 to 700 kbps, with bursts over 1 Mbps on Cingular’s HSDPA network. In areas where HSDPA may not be available the AC860 will rely on Cingular’s EDGE network and its roaming partners in more than 90 countries (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz). HSDPA and the AC860 are set for release in the next few weeks.
