AT&T plans to boost the speed of its 3G wireless network to speeds of 20 megabits per second in 2009, “paving the way for over-the-air downloads that are more than five times faster than what customers can achieve today,” reports AppleInsider.
Speaking at the Morgan Stanley’s annual Communications Conference, AT&T mobility chief Ralph de la Vega said engineers already have a version of its HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) 3G network up and running in the labs at speeds of 7.2 megabits per second— or approximately double the theoretical throughput of its existing network. AT&T plans to transition to HSPA release 7 sometime in 2009.
