Optus Reveals Sydney 4G Phone Trial Data

Mobile phone giant Optus has revealed it recorded speeds of over 40 Mbps during its 4G network trial in Sydney.

The trial took place throughout a number of suburbs in Sydney and will now move to a second phase involving more cellphone base stations as well as tests for interaction between the current 2G and 3G Optus mobile phone networks.

Optus is hoping to use the 4G network trials to boost bandwidth for its fast growing smartphone market in Australia.
