Broadcaster Seven Network has made an off-market cash bid of up to AU$127 million to acquire Unwired in a move designed to guarantee access to a national wireless network.
Sydney wireless carrier Unwired plans to start selling a long-awaited PCMCIA card version of its broadband modem for laptops on Boxing Day.
You can't blame wireless carrier Unwired for feeling a little left out in the last few weeks.
Wireless broadband provider Unwired is preparing a move to new Wi-Max technology from early next year by investing in 802.16e-programmable equipment.
Wireless broadband users in Australia could enjoy maximum surfing speeds of 75 megabits per second by mid-2006, analysts say.
With the OPEL bid cancelled and procedural questions dogging the FTTN bid, Australia is currently in something of a technological limbo.
What a week it's been for mobiles.
It has been a busy year in telecoms, whether because of the increasingly bitter relationship between Telstra and the government; the awarding of the contentious but (finally) progressive broadband contract to OPEL; the pivotal election that led to a change of government; or the move of 3G mobile technology into the mainstream at last.
Wireless broadband users in Australia could enjoy maximum surfing speeds of 75 megabits per second by mid-2006, analysts say.
Residents and businesses throughout 95 percent of Sydney will soon have the option to side-step Telstra's copper-line network altogether for their broadband and telephony services.
A key electronics industry group has approved a significant standard for wireless broadband specifications known as "WiMax," giving a boost to a technology proclaimed as a breakthrough for cheap high-speed Internet access.
In recent months, wireless networks have received a boost as products based on the 802.11g standard--capable of 54Mbps--have come into the mainstream. Are you ready for fast wireless?
While the speed and pricing plans make it appealing for those who aren't deskbound, Unwired's Wireless Card is cruelled by the lack of true mobility and the Sydney-only coverage, which itself is undeniably patchy.
Those seeking a wireless "broadband anywhere" connection have another reliable option with the 3 Mobile Internet NetConnect Card, but the usual "subject to coverage area" caveats apply.
