| Standard | Family | Primary Use | Radio Tech | Downlink (Mbps) | Uplink (Mbps) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 802.16e | WiMAX | Mobile Internet | SOFDMA | 70 | 70 | Quoted speeds only achievable at short range more practically 10Mbps symmetrical at 10Km with line of Sight. If Non line of sight the uplink speeds will be lower and the service will have a radius of around 2Km |
| HIPERMAN | HIPERMAN | Mobile Internet | OFDM | 56.9 | 56.9 | |
| WiBro | WiBro | Mobile Internet | OFDM | 50 | 50 | Short range (<5km) |
| UMTS W-CDMA HSDPA+HSUPA |
UMTS/3GSM | Mobile phone | CDMA/FDD | .384 3.6 |
.384 5.76 |
HSDPA downlink widely deployed. Roadmap shows HSDPA up to 28.8Mbps from the basestation . Users can expect downloads of 400 to 600Kbps but around 100Kbps uplink speeds. |
| UMTS-TDD | UMTS/3GSM | Mobile Internet | CDMA/TDD | 16 | 16 | Reported speeds according to IPWireless |
| LTE UTMS | UMTS/4GSM | General 4G | OFDM/MIMO (HSOPA) | >100 | >50 | Still in development |
| 1xRTT | CDMA2000 | Mobile phone | CDMA | 0.144 | 0.144 | Obsoleted by EV-DO |
| EV-DO 1x Rev. 0 Rev. A |
CDMA2000 | Mobile phone | CDMA/FDD | 2.45 3.1 |
0.15 1.8 |
Proposed Rev. B improves downlink to nearly 5Mbps. |
Notes: All speeds are theoretical maximums and will vary by a number of factors, including the distance from the tower and the ground speed (ie communications on a train may be slower than when standing still.) Usually the bandwidth is shared between several terminals.
