By 4G Mobile Phones on June 24, 2010

Australian mobile phone company Telstra has reported mobile download speeds of 100 Mbps over a distance of 75 Kilometers while testing its LTE 4G wireless network in Victoria. The tests are in preparation for a roll out of a full 4G mobile phone network in Australia.

Engineers from Telstra and Nokia Siemens Networks conducted the trials between Mount Hope and Mount Burrumboot in central Victoria using Nokia’s 4G LTE Flexi Multiradio Base Station and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) along with commercial 4G USB dongles from third-party vendors.

Telstra says the test will help it provide 4G mobile services for remote rural locations in Australia.
