TELUS Mobility introduces high speed 3G network in Canada

November 14, 2005

TELUS Mobility launched its national Wireless High Speed Network, offering clients in five major urban centres across Canada access to the Internet, e-mail servers and other data networks at speeds at least six times faster than previous mobile data services.

Broadband data speeds

Wireless High Speed offers clients the broadband data access they've become accustomed to on their desktops, but now they can take that speed on the road. With typical download speeds of 400 to 700 kilobits per second, and possible speeds of more than 2 megabytes per second, TELUS Mobility's Wireless High Speed network offers clients the speed they need for powerful mobile computing applications.

"By uniting the broadband access speeds of our Wireless High Speed network with the newest portable computing products, TELUS Mobility is providing clients across Canada with the most powerful mobile data solution available today," said Wade Oosterman, TELUS Mobility's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

TELUS Mobility plans to extend Wireless High Speed service to other urban centres in 2006. Based on the CDMA 1xEVDO standard, the newest 3G wireless data technology available, Wireless High Speed was built with network infrastructure solutions provided by Lucent Technologies and Nortel.

TELUS Connection Manager

TELUS Connection Manager Software, also launched today, provides mobile computing clients using portable PCs and a TELUS Mobility PC card with one-click access to the best available wireless network - including TELUS Mobility's Wireless High Speed, 1X and Hotspot systems.

TELUS Connection Manager Software also offers built-in acceleration software that can increase data access speeds by two to three times on Wireless High Speed or 1X data networks through data compression. TELUS Connection Manager software is available for download by clients at telusmobility.com/connectionmanager.

Wireless High Speed data products

TELUS Mobility has a wide variety of Wireless High Speed data devices available now and in the near future. All are "backward compatible" with the ability to operate on TELUS Mobility's national 1X data network, which covers more than 90% of the Canadian population, when outside Wireless High Speed coverage areas.

Sierra Wireless AirCard 580: Wireless High Speed is available to clients with the Sierra Wireless AirCard 580, a PC card that allows clients high-speed mobile access to the Internet and other data networks from their portable PCs. Thousands of TELUS Mobility clients have already purchased the Sierra Wireless AirCard 580 in preparation for the launch of Wireless High Speed, and require only a simple, free software upgrade available at telusmobility.com/aircard580upgrade to access the service. The Sierra Wireless AirCard 580 costs $99.99 on a three-year contract or $249.99 with no contract.
