Argentina:

  • Movistar has upgraded to HSDPA in July 2007.

Aruba:

  • Setar launched a UMTS and HSDPA network in December 2007.[1]

Australia:

  • Telstra has replaced their CDMA-EVDO network with a HSDPA network, known as Next G, which commenced operation on 6 October 2006. It reaches 98.8% of the Australian population and operates at 14.4 Mbit/s peak. It is geographically the world's largest 3G 850 MHz network, most of it was built in 10 months by bolting onto Telstra's existing Mobile Network. [2]
  • 3 has rolled out HSDPA across its entire 3G-2100 footprint in Australia completing the rollout in March 2007. The network currently runs at up to 3.6 Mbit/s peak.
  • Optus is deploying a nationwide HSDPA network to compete directly with Telstra's Next G network. It will reach 98% of the Australian population by 2010, covering over 1 million square kilometres. The rollout began in late 2007 with large regional centres being upgraded, delivering services in the 2100 MHz band. Optus plan to utilise the 900 MHz band for fringe coverage and rural areas. The Optus HSDPA network currently offers speeds of up to 3.6 Mbit/s, with the network being upgraded to support 7.2 Mbit/s in 2008. [3][4]
  • Vodafone Australia first activated HSDPA coverage in selected areas of Sydney and Melbourne on 20 October 2006, with speeds peaking at 1.8 Mbit. Vodafone is currently expanding their HSDPA network to match their existing GSM coverage, using spectrum in the 2100 MHz and 900 MHz bands.

  • Both MTN and Vodacom, two of South Africa's leading GSM operators have already announced their deployment of the fast HSDPA service delivering theoretical downlink speeds of 1.8 Mbit/s after introducing UMTS 3G services more than 14 months ago. MTN launched their HSDPA service on the 22 March 2006, hot on the heels of Vodacom's announcement that their service would go live on 2 April 2006. The move is disputed however, as MTN had no data cards available even after Vodacom's launch who had data cards available on the day of their launch. Technically MTN was first to launch the service commercially, but without the means for users to connect to it. You could however use it if you could get your hands on a compatible data card, brought one as a foreigner, or ironically, bought one from its competitor Vodacom. Regardless of this and how it is considered MTN won the race on a technical level and so became the 14th network world-wide to deploy HSDPA, possibly also becoming one of the instigators for some users no longer regarding Vodacom's widely known slogan "South Africa's leading cellular network" to be valid.
