Australian Telco Telstra Reveals Its Ultrafast Wireless Network
Posted by nstar612
Telstra, the former state-owned phone company, has spent the last three years building out a so-called “Next G” network, which currently boasts download speeds of more than 14 megabits per second. The network is, at its peak, about seven times faster than top speeds frequently reported by users of wireless modems on U.S. third generation, or 3G, networks.
As a result, average Australian consumers are able to avail themselves of the high-bandwidth wireless services - streaming wireless video or video chat on cell phones, say - most commonly associated with Japan and Korea, two countries that traditionally have been on the cutting edge of wireless services.
