Telstra spearheads Next G network

Telstra is already priming parts of its Next G network to run at 42Mbps by year-end and says it will support Ericsson as they push to develop future high-speed configurations, saysIT News.

At the Australian launch of its Next G network upgrade, chief executive Sol Trujillo said the telco would not stop at 21Mbps but would double the peak capacity on undisclosed parts of the network "later this year”.

"While competitors are rolling out networks at 14.4Mbps, we're at 21Mbps today, and 'tomorrow' we'll be at 42Mbps, so you ain't seen nothing yet," Trujillo said. "We're not stopping."

Radware introduced a new version of its Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG), a scalable service- and network-aware policy switch for flexible and profitable service introduction, reports Mobile Europe.

The MIG offers mobile operators a tailor-made, pay-as-you-grow scalable application delivery model.

This enables improved real-time classification of online or offline traffic partner sites for effective service factory optimisation and reduced implementation complexities of mobile back-end resources. It also enhances further monetisation of the network for the flexible and effective introduction of new service delivery models and supports new billing policies.

Visitors attending the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, will be able to see, talk to, and play games with LTE users in Bonn, Germany over the world's first international end-to-end LTE connection, reports Fox Business.

Nortel infrastructure technology and LTE devices from LG Electronics will be used to stream live video between the T-Mobile booth at MWC and the company's headquarters in Bonn, Germany.

LTE is a next generation wireless technology that delivers seamless mobile broadband connectivity making applications like streaming HD Video, interactive gaming, and video conferencing as accessible on mobile devices as they are at home or in the office.
