Motorola on Wednesday announced an agreement with MTC Kuwait to upgrade and expand the operator's nation-wide High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network.
The agreement was also aimed at introducing advanced High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) to provide an enhanced mobile broadband experience for MTC Kuwait subscribers.
Under the agreement, Motorola will deliver additional network infrastructure, integration and support services for MTCs nation-wide HSDPA network that will improve coverage both outdoors and in key public indoor locations.
The network will also be upgraded with an IP backhual solution that will enable subscribers to have faster access to rich content with peak download speeds up to 7.2 Mbps.
MTC Kuwait, an MTC group operation, will utilise Motorola's technology, which combines the benefits of both HSDPA and HSUPA to enable two-way, high-speed communications for business and consumer around such user application as corporate network access, email exchange, social networking, video streaming, file sharing, online gaming and web-conferencing.
The expanded and enhanced MTC Kuwait 3G network comes at a time when mobile subscribers in the Middle East are seeking more bandwidth and higher data transmission rates and reduced latency.
