Taking the next step in its mobile broadband strategy, Motorola introduced its new High Speed Access Point - Motorola AXPT – for enhanced indoor mobile broadband access. The Motorola AXPT was unveiled to leading mobile operators around the world, with live over-the-air demonstrations revealing exceptional coverage and capacity directly indoors.

Motorola AXPT, which can be added to any existing UMTS network, is designed to enable mobile operators to tap into the lucrative enterprise broadband market by maintaining cellular traffic after the user moves indoors. Motorola AXPT was developed to address the specific indoor coverage and capacity challenges that mobile operators face when delivering HSDPA mobile broadband within the enterprise space.

HSDPA provides specific challenges to mobile operators as a stronger signal is required to deliver the broadband speeds at the high 3G frequencies. In addition, capacity must be increased to satisfy office-based broadband usage which could congest the current cellular network. Motorola AXPT is designed to help mobile operators retain and grow broadband usage on their cellular network, by reducing the need for users to switch to alternative fixed or wireless broadband services in the office environment.

In many cases, capacity of Motorola AXPT is comparable to existing wide area cellular base stations, allowing it to handle the vast volumes of traffic needed to satisfy the high demands of today's enterprise market. Motorola AXPT provides mobile operators with a solution that competes with WiFi on performance and operational costs whilst supporting existing UMTS and HSDPA devices.

The live over-the-air demonstrations to operators around the world showed applications such as email, video streaming and music downloads delivered over Motorola AXPT simultaneously to UMTS and HSDPA devices at speeds up to 3.6 Mbps.
