Where UMTS service with HSDPA is available, your MD300 can connect at speeds up to 3.6Mb/s. Your MD300 provides automatic fallback to UMTS where HSDPA is not available and to EDGE or GPRS service where UMTS is not available (network support required). This section describes the services that the MD300 supports:

•High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)

HSDPA is an enhancement to UMTS networks which enables the downlink speed to be dramatically increased; up to 3.6Mb/s using the MD300. File downloads will be faster, whilst applications such as video streaming may operate at higher quality and greater reliability. The maximum speed available depends on the configuration of the mobile network and local conditions such as distance to the base station.
