Svizzera: GSM dati ad alta velocità (200 kbps) pronto subito

Switzerland launches EDGE nationwide | The Register: "Swisscom has announced a broadband mobile network based on EDGE technology with nationwide coverage. Live television, video streaming and the transmission of large files to phones are now possible nearly everywhere in Switzerland.

EDGE data rates are three times faster than GPRS and increase mobile bandwidth from 30 to as much as 200 kbps. However, a specially enabled mobile phone, such as the Nokia Communicator 9300 (EDGE) or 9500 (EDGE WLAN), is required for the new network.

Swisscom Mobile also plans to launch an EDGE-enabled PC card this summer. From June, Swisscom Mobile will offer a flat rate of CHF 79 (�35.1) per month for mobile data communication (for up to 1 GB) on all broadband networks. EDGE complements Swisscom Mobile's existing technology mix, which includes UMTS and WLAN."
