Nokia also announce a new HSPDA network device known as the Nokia Pico WCDMA base station. This serves to improve the reception of HSPDA signals within buildings.

Nokia and MobileOne (M1) demonstrated live mobile data connection supporting 3.6 Mbps at Nokia Connection in Singapore. With 3.6 Mbps, more and faster data services can be delivered over-the-air as it roughly doubles the speed of what can be achieved with today's maximum HSDPA data rate. In practice, the download time of a typical music file will be less than 10 seconds.

At the show, we also saw the demonstration of DVB-H on N92 streaming Live ChannelNewsAsia.
