maximum speeds of up to 115kbps data transmission speeds, which translates to decreased wait times while logging on and downloading.
asymmetric access allows for faster download speeds, which directly supports user expectations and satisfies requirements for high-speed, data-intensive applications.
1x allows a maximum of 60 active users (per serving antenna sector) to request and receive packets simultaneously. Depending on a specific activity factor (i.e. traffic loading), a much larger number of users can use the system. For example, if users in a given sector are operating applications with an estimated 10 percent activity factor, then 600 users can effectively be served at a time.
