About HSPA+
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) represents a family of high-speed 3G and 4G digital data services available to GSM carriers worldwide. The service works with HSPA cellphones as well as laptops and portable devices with HSPA modems. Although based on WCDMA, HSPA is a major enhancement with more channels and different modulation and coding techniques. In addition, HSPA can recover faster from errors than WCDMA. HSPA+, also called "I-HSPA" and "HSPA Evolved," is designated as a 4G technology.
In the United States, it is available under AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile US.
Pricing
PremierWave XC HSPA+ has an MSRP of $565.00.
