Which Gadgets Benefit From HSPA+?

Posted on May 5th, 2011. Written by Rico.

Globe’s HSPA+ service not only allows faster wireless broadband speeds for HSPA+ gadgets, but for older devices as well. Wondering if you’ll benefit from the telco’s 4G mobile technology? Here are some lists to help you out.

The general rule is: a gadget (phone, tablet PC, embedded laptop or USB modem) that is “HSDPA”, “HSUPA”, or “HSPA”-enabled will enjoy better speeds under Globe’s 4G coverage—without any modification whatsoever, according to the company. Check your gadget’s manual, or do a quick Google search for information. Devices that have “HSPA+” in their specs can of course enjoy the most that HSPA+ has to offer.

If that sounds a bit confusing for you, check out the lists below:

What if my gadget isn’t listed here?

Again, the general rule is that if a gadget has “HSDPA”, “HSUPA”, or “HSPA” listed in its specs, it will take full advantage of the higher download speeds allowed by HSPA+. The lists above are hardly comprehensive. If you’d like us to add a gadget or see something wrong, feel free to email us at editor -sa- technogra -dot- ph.

I think that the Huawei BM622 or the Huawei BM200 which are not USB Modems but Wireless Broadband Modems can be considered in the list that would benefit the HSPA from Globe. As far as I know there are still a lot of people who are still using that Modem (which includes me, and aka the Globe 3G Modem) which uses either WCDMA or HSPA concurrently, depending on how strong the signal is. I think even with the advent of the 4G Wimax few years back, some people just decided to retain their Huawei 3G Wireless Modems and are still using the 3G Modem that Globe supplied.

Consulted the Manual too, and much like the manual of USB Modem Sticks, it uses HSPA along with the same color coding too, wherein a Cyan steady light indicates a HSPA Connection.
