Which is faster UMTS or HSPA?

3G UMTS can offer 2 Mbps which can move up to 14.4 Mbps with HSPA and 42 Mbps with HSPA+. LTE can offer up to 300 Mbps. Maximum upload speeds – 3G UMTS can offer peak upload speeds of up to 128 kbps which improves to 5.76 Mbps with HSPA and 11.5 Mbps with HSPA+. LTE can offer peak upload speeds of up to 75 Mbps.

How fast is the highest data transfer speed with UMTS?

Maximum upload speeds – 3G UMTS can offer peak upload speeds of up to 128 kbps which improves to 5.76 Mbps with HSPA and 11.5 Mbps with HSPA+. LTE can offer peak upload speeds of up to 75 Mbps.

What is the difference between UMTS and HSDPA?

UMTS is a complete network system. As such, it also covers the radio access network, the core network, and the authentication of users using the USIM cards (or Subscriber Identity Module). High Speed Downlink Packet Access (also known as HSDPA) is also part of the 3G network; however, it is of an enhanced nature.

What’s the difference between HSPA and UMTS in 3G?

UMTS is the umbrella name for 3G technologies as defined by 3GPP. HSPA was an important evolution of 3G with additional downlink (HSDPA) and uplink speed (HSUPA).

What’s the difference between HSUPA and High Speed Packet Access?

With both HSDPA and HSUPA active, the overall scheme is referred to as HSPA – high speed packet access. Although when using HSUPA, there is a considerable increase in performance, the overall data rate in the uplink is not as fast as that available in the downlink.

What’s the difference between 3G HSDPA and HSUPA?

The 3G HSDPA upgrade includes several changes that are built onto the basic 3GPP UMTS standard. While some are common to the companion HSUPA technologies added to the uplink, others are specific to HSDPA High Speed Downlink Packet Access, because the requirements for the each direction differ.
