Blog: 21Mbps on Next G - Telstra Demonstration

Fastest Mobile Internet Ever!

The 21Mbps trials for mobile broadband modem will begin in soon, in December, with a commercial launch to follow first quarter next year.

The Portable modems are three times faster than the fastest devices currently available, pushing the speed barrier to levels not seen anywhere else on the planet,”.

“This is truly internet and game-changing,” Wright said. “The new technology will unlock opportunities for many of our customers by bridging the gap between wired and wireless broadband connectivity.

“Apart from speeding up our already super-fast network, eHSPA gives us improved network efficiency to build capacity and maintain the quality of our service so we can continue to welcome customers to the Next G network,” Wright said.

“The Peak network downlink speeds on the new Next G network will have evolved from 3.6Mbps to 21Mbps in just over two years, with a network footprint covering more than two million square kilometres and 99 per cent of the Australian population.”

Telstra has warned that 21Mbps speeds represented the ‘peak network downlink speeds’, and that actual customer download speeds would be less due to network configuration, congestion, distance from the cell, local conditions, hardware, software and other factors.

The eHSPA upgrade ensures that Telstra’s Next G network remained the most advanced national mobile network on the planet, said Wright.
