Rev. A

Carrier #1 Carrier #2 Carrier #3

Rev. B Terminal

Rev. A

Aggregated Data Pipe

3x Rev. A

Rev. A BSC/BTS

Aggregating multiple Rev. A carriers creates a bigger data pipe Up to 3x user data rates and lower latency throughout the cell Dynamic bandwidth allocation

Source: Peak rates are as defined in standards. The median and cell edge rates are based on Qualcomm simulations, using mixed channel model with Rev. B Phase-II devices supporting 64 QAM

Multicarrier More Than Doubles Capacity for Bursty Applications

Bursty Data Application (e.g. browsing)
Bursty Data Rate

Improved User Experience Increased Capacity

Data bursts
Partially loaded carriers

Idle time No. of Users per Carrier

Note: Based on lab measurements using realistic traffic models from the web. The average burst download time (over the air) is reduced ~ 66%. The capacity gain depends on the sector load which in this case is typical for a EV-DO Rev. A system.

Even Higher Capacity and Data Rates with CSM6850 Upgrade

Up to 14.7 Mbps forward link peak data rates1 ~ 65% higher uplink data capacity2 ~ 45% higher VoIP capacity3
