The Capabilities of HSPA+
Just your average Twitter conversation…
@pnjarich: So, the iPhone 4S tops out at HSPA+ 14.4. Not even 21 Mbps?
@GlennF: @pnjarich Why would anyone need more than 14.4 Mbps on a phone? Who cares?
@pnjarich: @GlennF Operators, that’s who. When you’re trying to maximize network capacity, HSPA+ 21 (or, better yet, 42) matters.
@GlennF: @pnjarich Understood.
