WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ - leading the way to LTE

UMTS networks have been deployed worldwide as 3rd generation mobile communications systems and provide a clear evolutionary path to HSPA.

Universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) networks based on wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) have been widely deployed worldwide. UMTS has mapped a clear evolutionary path to high speed packet access (HSPA), boosting capacity in UMTS networks and providing significant latency reductions as specified in 3GPP Releases 5 to 10.

WCDMA specified in 3GPP Release 99
HSPA specified in 3GPP Releases 5 and 6
HSPA+ specified in 3GPP Releases 7 to 10
