Telstra and Huawei have claimed some of the fastest downlink speeds to date using the long term evolution (LTE) fourth generation mobile standard, achieving nearly 150 megabits per second (Mbps) over the trial network.
A test of TeliaSonera's LTE (Long Term Evolution) network and its new multimode modem shows the next-generation mobile technology at its best -- delivering speeds at up 59.1M bps (bits per second) -- when used at 2.6GHz. But it also reveals how the technology sometimes struggles when used indoors.
Telecommunications operators likely won't wait for the digital dividend spectrum sell-off to start rolling out fourth-generation mobile infrastructure, according to Ericsson's head of strategic market, Kursten Leins.
Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA) has moved to keep up with the explosion in mobile broadband demand, appointing Ericsson to build its new high capacity national transmission network.
Optus LTE trial achieves 50Mbps
Optus has achieved 50 megabits per second (Mbps) downlink and 20Mbps uplink speeds on its first Sydney trial of Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless broadband technology.
Optus is to shortly release the results of its on-going Sydney Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless trials.
The CEOs of both Sprint Nextel and its WiMax partner, Clearwire, signaled on Wednesday that they might move to LTE (Long-Term Evolution) in the future.
The $11 billion infrastructure sharing agreement between Telstra and the NBN Co is set to expedite the deployment of fibre broadband potentially freeing up the telco to concentrate on improving its high-speed Next G wireless network for mainstream broadband access.
The Federal Government has confirmed it will sell off 126 Megahertz of ultra-high frequency (UHF) spectrum to be used for delivering wireless communication services after analogue TV is switched off at the end of 2013.
Of the alternatives offered by critics of the National Broadband Network (NBN), one of the more interesting options has been the notion of providing all Australians with wireless of one type or another.
Telstra and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) Long Term Evolution (LTE) trial is already paying off with the two companies claiming to have achieved peak download speeds of 100Mbps over a record distance of 75km.
The argument between LTE and WiMAX continues to rage at least three years after it ignited. Though many, except for Sprint and Clearwire in the US, think it might already be over, with LTE the winner.
More mobile network operators are placing their bets on the same next-generation mobile networking technology to offer users faster connections, according to a report from the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA).
The WiMax Forum has closed one office in the past several months and lost as many as 100 members, but it is not concerned about the 4G technology losing its footing as many mobile operators commit to using LTE (Long-Term Evolution) networks instead.
