This kind of a follow-up to a previous announcement - "NSN CEO: “Finding ways to support the 10,000% increase in smartphone generated data traffic by 2015 is vital for operators worldwide” - here), although the test was conducted at Nokia Siemens Networks’ Smart Lab in Dallas rather the new facility in Madrid.

"The new Release 8 Fast Dormancy feature is designed to optimize the performance of both the wireless terminal and network," said Alex Katouzian, vice president of product management at Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "It enables a consistent improvement in battery life and signaling efficiency on multivendor networks for a wide range of mobile broadband devices, such as smartphones, netbook/tablet PCs and laptops. The test clearly demonstrates the benefit of leading network vendors and terminal platform providers working together.
