I tried to compare the communication speeds of three mobile broadband "XGP", "WiMAX" and "HSPA +"

WILLCOM 's "WILLCOM CORE XGP", UQ Communications's"UQ WiMAX", E-Mobile's"HSPA +"I compared the communication speeds of uplink and downlink for each of them.

This time I measured up and down in 3 different ways. First of allSpeed ​​test / Broadband communication speed measurement site: speed.rbbtoday.com"Measured three times with the average of the results. Next, transfer the 50.0 MB ZIP file to the speed measurement FTP server prepared here,TCP Monitor Plus"Mean speed when measured with. The end is "Gal Mikoshi Photo Gallery 2009 1st ~ Girl Mikoshi Sortie ~The thumbnail image and the enlarged image used in the total of 50 images, total of 4.66 MB transferred and also the average speed when measured with TCP Monitor Plus. It does not adjust all MTU and RWIN, it is measured with the default value of Windows XP SP 3. The PC used for the measurement is Panasonic's "CF-W 8 Premium Edition", The measurement location will be around Todo Dengu Building (near 2-3-3 Higashi Shimbashi Minato-ku).

So, the test results are as follows.
This is the scenery around the speed measurement place this time. Kyodo newsletter, Nippon TV, Dentsu etc. are lining up.


We measured it before this.



Measure with this feeling


It is completely suspicious


No one comes by ... ...


Test 1: "Speed ​​test / Broadband communication speed measurement site: speed.rbbtoday.comThe average of the results measured three times with

Wilcom has measured with 2 models.

First of all, this is a type that is inserted into the PC card slot, "GX000IN" made by Net Index.


The radio wave condition at the time of measurement is like this. The fourth stage in 5 stages.


The following is the measurement result.

Average downlink: 4.51 Mbps

Next, UQ Communications's "UQ WiMAX" used Shinsei Corporation, MW-U 2510, USB type.


The radio wave condition at the time of measurement is like this. The MAX value is level 5, so it has not reached it.


The following is the measurement result.

Downlink (ISP → PC): 12.62 Mbps
Upstream (PC → ISP): 1.36 Mbps

Average upstream: 1.53 Mbps
Average downlink: 12.37 Mbps

Lastly I used "HSPA +" of e · mobile, D31HW made by HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES, USB type.


The radio wave condition at the time of measurement is like this.


The following is the measurement result.

"EMOBILE HSPA +": "D31 HW" manufactured by HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES

As for e-Mobile's "HSPA +", as a supplementary matter, there are some characteristic features when communicating continuously. First of all, it is slow at first, but suddenly becomes faster after a certain period of time has elapsed.


This is a state where communication is stable and stable at high speed.


However, after a certain period of time elapses again, the speed will be reduced suddenly in this way again.


About this phenomenon, according to ITPro "According to EMOBILE, it takes some time from the start of communication to the peak speed, so it is easier to increase the speed by sending large volume data of about 10 MbytesSo it seems normal with this.
