100 Million Customers Now Have Access To High Speed GSM Services

GSM high speed data services are now available to more than 100 million customers across 27 countries around the world according to the GSM Association. Such services offer customers access to a range of existing and new 3G-like features and applications at much higher speeds than previously available on GSM’s second generation platform.

Rob Conway, GSM Association CEO, announced yesterday that 38 GSM networks have so far successfully implemented the feature known as high speed circuit switched data (HSCSD). “This feature enables subscribers of GSM networks to transmit and receive data at rates of up to 4 times the rate of transmission on GSM’s second generation platform,” said Conway. “This feature that enables networks to test existing new applications that demand high data rates over the existing infrastructure.”
