NTT DoCoMo a Japanese company announced today that it plans to begin testing on an experimental “Super 3G” system for mobile devices. Japans largest mobile carrier stated that they hope to achieve an impressive 300Mbps down in its tests over the wireless network. The company has already begun accepting proposals from suppliers and hopes to implement the Super 3G system in Japan by 2009.
The first Super 3G experiment was scheduled to be in an indoor enviroment with one transmitting antenna and one receiving antenna. NTT DoCoMo takes the experiment to a new level by using four Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas on both the transmitting and receiving side.Their goal is not just to achieve 300Mbps down but also to look at how well handovers will be handled between towers.
