Yesterday, Nokia Siemens announced the launch of its downlink dual carrier EDGE software solution.

Nokia'a new product promises to double EDGE data speeds of up to 592 kbps.

Available as a software upgrade beginning in the third quarter of 2008, the new downlink solution represents the first step in evolving EDGE, according to Nokia.

Nokia's networking partnership with Siemens also says that it already has plans to introduce in its networks the next substantial step, EGPRS-2, to further boost end user experience in uplink and downlink performance.

Ari Lehtoranta, head of Radio Access Business Unit at Nokia Siemens said “by 2015, we expect to live in a broadband-IP world with 5 billion people and therefore Nokia Siemens Networks is fully committed in protecting customer investments and continue to implement leading EDGE technology.”

He added “Nokia's Dual Carrier software upgrade is an easy and extremely cost efficient step to bring broadband user experience to GSM/EDGE networks.”
