    • ]]>     So in todays day and age the internet is becoming more and more part of out everyday lives correct? Well in my case yes! So on thursday May 29th HiWEB-Interactive over at hiweb.net and I were talking about AT&T and where they plan to be with there data network in 4 years. I learned tons about some very interesting wireless technologies and here is a breakdown of the current and future wireless data technologies at their best!

    Sprint and Verizon :
    EV-DO Rev. A – 1.5- 3.1 Mbps download max! This means that Rev. A is only going to see these speeds that is it nothing more they are done.

    Sprint and Verizon are investing in WiMax that will deliver 50Mbps to the end user by the year 2015.

    AT&T :
    UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA – 1.4 – 20Mbps! This current wireless technology is already in use in more major cities that AT&T is servicing! WOW 20Mbps. Well you might be saying why are we not seeing these speeds? It is because currently the overhead of the AT&T network is too high therefore we are only going to see 1.4.

    AT&T plans on releasing HSPA that will bring the wireless devices closer to the 20Mbps by late 2009 and plans to have a full blown LTE (long term evolution) network set up by the end of 2012 bring 100Mbps data transfer speeds per handheld on the AT&T wireless network. So if you have a phone with AT&T keep it they are the leaders in the future of wireless voice and data coverage.
