I'm on new 3G project HCPT in Bengkulu. This project bring me into new technology in microwave transmission system, evolving from old TDM into full data packet system (IP packet data).
Not so full IP, this Huawei RTN microwave support dual TDM and IP as refer to hybrid radio system.
The 3G technology that implemented in this project is nothing other than old WCDMA HSDPA, hmmm what if 4G LTE :). Image below capture of speed test on site.
Bengkulu area will be covered by HCPT 3G network about end of this year.
