Telstra launches 3G in Australia
March 27, 2003
Qualcomm congratulates Telstra, Australia's largest wireless service
provider, on the successful launches of its 3G CDMA2000 1X network upgrade
and its wireless applications service based on Qualcomm's BREW solution.
Telstra is the first national Australian operator, beating main rival
Hutchison 3G, to launch its fast data network services to the market.
Telstra also establishes itself as the premier wireless data service provider
in Australia through its BREW-based over-the-air application download
service, which will enable Telstra's subscribers to quickly and easily
access a variety of games and applications from their BREW-enabled handsets.
Telstra deployed Nortel Networks Univity CDMA2000 1X technology to 3G-enable
its existing CDMA wireless network.
"The new consumer service extends the use of the mobile phone beyond
voice and SMS to an entertainment portal that will provide customers with
access to a rich selection of content and applications," said Tim Buckley,
director of next generation wireless services, Telstra. "Telstra believes
that customer desire will create a demand for non-voice services. We have
worked closely with Qualcomm to deliver these new non-voice services based
on the BREW platform running over Telstra's CDMA2000 1X network, which
will allow us to deliver an end-to-end solution for customers where they
can purchase, download and customize their mobile device."
Telstra's CDMA2000 1X network is available in greater Sydney, Melbourne,
Canberra and Brisbane with current plans to launch Adelaide and Perth
in the coming months. With data speeds of up to 144 kbps, the 3G-enabled
CDMA2000 1X network will support the continuing growth of voice services,
while simultaneously providing new high-speed data capabilities.
Telstra's CDMA 1x service has monthly pricing plans of 20c per 10KB (plus
a 22c connection fee each time it is used), through to $85 for a permanent
monthly connection with 15MB of data.
