Etheraction introduces the world's first 4G terminal based on DAB/GSM/GPRS Etheraction introduces the world's first 4G terminal based on Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and GSM/GPRS. "We are very pleased to be able to provide multimedia services for mobile terminals at a speed that not even most stationary computers can offer", says Etheraction AB's managing director, Robert Kornfeld. By introducing its 4G terminal, Etheraction launches the world's first mobile terminal for wireless reception of interactive and multimedia services at a transmission rate of 1.5 Mbps. The terminal is designed for use together with a hand-held computer (a Compaq iPAQ in the first release). The result is a convergence of broadcast data services, a GSM/GPRS telephone and a hand-held computer that allow connection to the Internet. The unique feature of the terminal is that - besides allowing connection of a hand-held computer via GSM/GPRS - it can receive IP traffic over DAB and support all standardized digital radio services. This means that large amounts of data can be sent to large groups of users at considerably higher speed than today's GPRS networks and future UMTS networks can provide.
