The Finnish-based firm saw the results during its first
live trial of a software known as High Speed Cell FACH
on a 3G network.
Nokia Networks has completed its first live testing of
High Speed Cell FACH technology. When using apps,
phones send and receive small amounts of data, and
Nokia’s technology is designed to handle these socalled
‘data packets’ more efficiently. This increases
browsing speeds, power savings and response times
When running applications such as WhatsApp,
Facebook, and Twitter, as well as browsing the web,
phones often send and receive small amounts of data,
known as packets, of just a few hundreds of bytes or a
few kbytes.
The technology also means operators can boost the
speed and quality of their services, and support a
higher number of phones on their networks.
According to the recent Nokia tests, the 3G software
boosts speeds and network response times by up
to 65 per cent, and leads to up to 20 per cent faster
browsing.
Users also saw power savings of up to 49 per cent,
which meant their battery life lasted almost twice as
long – depending on which applications were being
used. – Dailymail.co.uk
