Telstra 4G Mobile Network Official Launch
In a Telstra media release published today the leading Australian Telco announced the official launch of their 4G LTE mobile network in Australian metropolitan central business districts and more than 30 other regional and metropolitan areas.
The 4G network which uses LTE – Long Term Evolution wireless technology is believed to be capable of transmitting data transfer speeds up to 25 times faster than its predecessor 3G network. In realistic terms, Telstra suggest typical download speeds range from 2Mbps – 40Mbps making it one of the world’s fastest mobile networks.
Telstra’s CEO David Thodey had this to say about the 4G network launch…..
“Today marks a new high-speed chapter in Australian mobile telecommunications. Telstra’s 4G network delivers mobile speeds scarcely imagined a decade ago, making it easier for people to connect with the things they need and love when on the move”
“We know there is a huge appetite for 4G-powered smartphones and tablets and Telstra is working with some of the world’s leading manufacturers to bring some of these devices to customers in the first half of 2012”

The much anticipated launch of the Telstra 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network has now been finalised through an announcement stating that around 2000 Telstra USB 4G mobile broadband modems would be available to business and enterprise customers from August 2011.
Telstra initially switched on many of its Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane 4G Network base stations back in May this year which is planned to increase both network capacity and download and uploads speeds. At the same time this development should also alleviate the pressure on its existing 3G network and client base.
In LTE trials conducted late last year, it was reported that Telstra obtained test speeds of 149MBps down and 59Mbps up on a 20MHz frequency spectrum.
Although the incumbent has not yet officially announced respective theoretical speeds for it’s new LTE 4G network, it’s believed that the Telco’s new dual mode 4G USB modem should easily exceed 20-30Mbps download speeds across an 1800MHz spectrum band during typical operating conditions.
