In August 2006, DOCOMO started the commercial service of HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) .
HSDPA is the high-speed data transmission technology employed on the 3rd generation mobile system 'W-CDMA'.
HSDPA efficiently transmits packet data and realizes high data rates and cost reduction. With HSDPA, high volume contents such as videos and music deliveries can be enjoyed with comfort.
