Japan is one country where you witness the crazy in technology, last month we heard that Coca-Cola will soon replace all their vending machines into touch-screen LCD vending machines which will do more than just vending a coke.
Ericsson is all set to offer a 42 Mbps HSPA network for the Japanese carrier EMOBILE and this super-fast network is all set to hit Japan by the end of this year. The required gear will be deployed to Tokyo, Tokai and Osaka by Ericsson and the upgraded EMOBILE network will support such high speeds by using a dual-cell HSPA solution which will allow users to receive data over two blocks of spectrum simultaneously.
This new dual-cell HSPA (DC-HSPA) technology from EMOBILE is about double the speed of T-mobiles current HSPA+ networks in the US. Japan would be the first one to get a taste of this technology and I am very sure that it well later reach other countries. At the moment EMOBILE’s DC-HSPA will not support multiple-input-multiple-output, MIMO, but Ericsson says that future versions will make it possible. Considering the current capability of DC-HSPA of simultaneously sending two data streams at the same frequency the speeds may possible double later when MIMO is implemented. This definitely is a big improvement and we may very soon see much powerful wireless networks.
