Mobile Broadband Technologies Identified
WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA (80) - HSPA combines HDSPA (downlink) with HSUPA (uplink) packet protocols and improves the performance of existing 3G mobile telecommunication networks using the WCDMA protocols. HSDPA is an enhanced 3G protocol allowing networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher speeds and capacity.

HSPA+ (81) - Evolved High Speed Packet Access(HSPA+) is the second phase of HSPA including 3GPP. HSPA+ can achieve data rates of up to 42.2 Mbit/s.

EVDO/EVDO Rev A (82) - Evolution-Data Optimized is a telecommunications standard for the wireless transmission of data through radio signals, typically an evolution of the CDMA2000.

LTE (83) - Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using a different radio interface together with core network improvements. LTE is commonly marketed as 4G LTE.

WiMAX (84) - Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

CDMA (85) - Code division multiple access is a channel access method used by various technologies where several transmitters can send information simultaneously over a single communication channel and share a band of frequencies. CDMA employs spread-spectrum technology.

GSM (86) - Global System for Mobile Communications, is a standard developed by ETSI initially to describe the protocols for 2G digital.

Analog (87) - first generation analog cellular networks
