56Mbps HSPA+ mobile speeds coming to China Huawei users

Mobile internet junkies on China Huawei’s network have reason to celebrate. The arrival of 56Mbps download speeds has arrived. While here in the U.S., AT&T brags about 7.2 Mbps speeds, Huawei is ushering in the next gen now by actually putting dollars towards their network in a timely fashion. Current users of Huawei’s fourth gen and 38xx series base stations can take advantage of this new found speed with a simple software upgrade. *Super* Even more impressive and interesting however is the fact that the official HSPA+ spec maxes out at 42Mbps yet Huawei is somehow tapping 56Mbps. Indeed interesting. What kind of tom foolery are they doing behind the scenes to push past this limit? Surpassing the official specs is a sure bet. If it is in fact using unofficial specs, any guesses as to the reliability of the network?
