Further analysis of HSPA Devices including generation of lists and charts is possible using GAMBoD. GAMBoD is a search and analysis tool developed by GSA for HSPA devices, allowing searches by supplier, form factor, features, peak downlink and uplink speeds, and operating frequency. Results are presented as a list, or as a spreadsheet, or in charts. An RSS feed can be subscribed to for alerts when new devices are added to the database. Charts may be inserted into documents or presentations, subject to accreditation of GSA as the source.
GAMBoD is available to qualified site users (i.e. representatives of GSA Member companies who have registered using their corporate email address, or representatives of network operators who have registered using their corporate email address). Qualified users should first log in and visit www.gsacom.com/gambod
