WOW!!

"With the ability to support peak download speeds as high as **280 Mbps** in a mobile environment, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) represents a major break-through in the delivery of next generation mobile broadband services. The technology will deliver packets of data at speeds that are orders of magnitude higher than what is currently available, and will do so within the entire cell edge coverage area. "
