HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) is a packet-based data service in W-CDMA uplink. HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) offer breakthrough data speeds, theoretically up to 14.4 Mbps in downlink and up to 5.8 Mbps in uplink respectively.

HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) extends the uplink capability, providing peak uplink data rates of 5.76Mbps (up from typically 384kbps maximum in today's networks) and reduced data latency.
