High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA)[edit]

High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) is a 3G mobile telephony protocol in the HSPA
family. This technology was the second major step in the UMTS evolution process. It was
specified and standardized in 3GPP Release 6 to improve the uplink data rate to 5.76 Mbit/s,
extending the capacity, and reducing latency. Together with additional improvements which are
detaileld below this creates opportunities for a number of new applications including VoIP,
uploading pictures and sending large e-mail messages.
In the meanwhile HSUPA has been superseded by newer technologies further advancing transfer
rates. LTE provides up to 300 Mbit/s for downlink and 75 Mbit/s for uplink. Its evolution LTE
Advanced supports maximum downlink rates of over 1 Gbit/s.
