NEC to develop Super 3G handset for DoCoMo

Wednesday, November 22, 2006 at 07:26 EST

TOKYO — NEC Corp announced Tuesday that it will develop equipment for Super 3G handsets, following a request for proposal from NTT DoCoMo. NEC plans to deliver commercial Super 3G mobile handsets in 2010 to DoCoMo.


The Super 3G standard is expected to provide super fast downlink data rates of over 100Mbps and uplink data rates of over 50Mbps, low-latency data transmission and improved spectrum efficiency. Super 3G features highly advanced versions of high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) and high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), which are W-CDMA packet transmission technologies standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

...this is, no doubt, a pathetic attempt to win back customers.
However, other companies, ie, AU by KDDI, already have high speed download and upload times. I doubt NTT can make much of an impact on the market.
They lost over 80,000 subscribers when the new number portability system took effect, and that's a HUGE chunk of customers!
DoCoMo is expensive, provides second rate service and does not listen to its customers!
