HSDPA 3. 6 Mbit/s download speed on the 2100 MHz Band connected via a robust mounting and interface concept and controlled via AT commands, this feature set enable manufacturers to develop high-speed data applications within a very short time and at low total cost of ownership. Those applications which are based on Windows© profit from the NDIS Driver and the USB 2. 0 full speed interface. As a result the HC15 is optimized for applications like Gateways, USB modems and Routers which are deployed in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia.

High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a packet-based data service in the UMTS network, which allows a download speed which is ten times faster than UMTS. This offers new services for the End User like live streaming of video and music, high-speed data downloads, broadband Internet Access and Interactive Games. In addition HSDPA will be pushed by the Mobile Network Operators due to network efficiency, which will be doubled in comparison with a GSM based network and the opportunity to replace fixed line Broadband Internet Access with wireless technology. Today the GSA (Global mobile Supplier Association) stated that 121 HSDPA networks in 55 countries around the Globe are already committed. The GSA forecasted that HSDPA will be the future mobile data standard with 90% market share.

In addition, the HC15 provides the approvals necessary for worldwide use free of charge. Thus, it meets requirements in accordance with R&TTE, UL and GCF as well as country-specific requirements, which network providers in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia may have. This makes it possible for manufacturers to reduce their application development costs as well as their total cost of ownership.

And last but not least, the HC15 is lead-free, in accordance with the EU Directive on the Restriction of Specific Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS).

Some of the key features of the HC15 include:

HSDPA 3. 6 Mbit/s
HSDPA/UMTS (WCDMA/FDD): 2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 900/1800 MHz
NDIS driver for Microsoft© Windows XP based devices
Voice & Data support
USB 2. 0 full speed
