Aeroflex has launched a commercial test system for HSUPA, providing full support for the latest 3GPP Release 6 High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) wireless technology. HSUPA is the latest enhancement to the Aeroflex TM500 Test Mobile system. HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) technology is already providing a major improvement to the downlink capacity of the latest 3G networks. HSUPA will deliver a similarly important enhancement to the uplink through the introduction of higher throughputs, reduced latency and higher spectral efficiency. By offering data rates up to 5.76 Mb/s and reduced packet latency in the uplink, HSUPA paves the way for a wide range of wireless broadband data services including video, gaming, VoIP and instant messaging. The TM500 HSUPA test system implementation delivers full support of 3GPP Enhanced Uplink technology, enabling detailed operation, testing and analysis of complex packet-based services and applications. Uplink and downlink data services can be configured and run simultaneously on the TM500 at the maximum HSUPA and HSDPA rates of 5.76 Mb/s and 13.97 Mb/s respectively.
