Executive Director, Wireless Engineering and Operations, Mike Wright confirmed today that Telstra was on track to super charge Next G network speeds with the 21Mbps capability by the end of the year.
The company has hosted its first public enhanced HSPA (eHSPA) data session, showcasing the enhanced network speeds and demonstrating the capabilities of the super-fast new modem. Trials of the 21Mbps mobile broadband modem will begin in December with a full commercial launch to follow early next year.
"This is truly game-changing. The new technology will unlock opportunities for many of our customers by bridging the gap between wired and wireless broadband connectivity. The surge in available data speeds will allow more Australians to work away from the office. They will be equipped to integrate new applications – including web conferencing, live high definition streaming video, high-speed web browsing and seamless virtual private network access – into the way they do business on the move," said Mike.
