Sierra Wireless advances product portfolio with support for Dual-Carrier HSPA+.
The Sierra Wireless AirCard 312U USB modem offers download speeds of up to 42Mbps, and is scheduled for commercial release later this year from Telstra in Australia. Other Dual-Carrier HSPA+ products, including Sierra Wireless AirPrime embedded modules, are planned to follow.
Dual-carrier HSPA+ doubles the speeds of current HSPA+ networks from a theoretical maximum of 21 megabits per second to 42Mbps, making them more efficient and providing a better experience for customers with more consistent network performance.
“Sierra Wireless and Telstra have collaborated many times before in delivering new technology to customers in Australia, and we are pleased to continue this collaboration with Dual-Carrier HSPA+. With Dual-Carrier HSPA+, network operators like Telstra are able to offer their customers a 4G-like experience sooner than they would be able to do so by waiting for LTE technology,” said Didier Dutronc, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Sierra Wireless. “The technology upgrade to Dual-Carrier HSPA+ with the AirCard 312U and other upcoming products offers improved efficiency for network operators and provides faster, more consistent performance for end users.”
