Hutchison Telecom has dropped mobile and IT technology distributor Cellnet Group as its 3G and CDMA mobile phones distributor as the company moves to an in-house distribution system.
We're aware many people in rural areas of Australia are anticipating the shutdown of Telstra's CDMA network, on 28 April 2008, with some trepidation, to say the least. If you're still using a CDMA phone, here is a selection of "blue tick", or best reception Next G phones.
The number of phones being handed in for recycling has sky-rocketed in NSW and Victoria in the lead up to Telstra's shutdown of its CDMA network.
NSW farmers are concerned that "patchy" coverage offered by Australia's latest mobile phone network could leave them isolated in cases of emergency.
While the relative merits of Next G vs CDMA as a mobile phone network will forever remain in question, no one seems to be arguing that Next G is winning out when it comes to data.
The day of reckoning finally arrived for CDMA -- and was then postponed, leaving everyone with any strong feeling on the subject a nice window of three months to once again enjoy the semantic back-and-forth the closure provokes.
Friends, industry watchers, readers; I come not to bag Telstra, but to praise it. The evil that telcos do often lives on after their Investors Days, while the good is often lost during interminable speeches.
Last week, a family friend rang for some technical help. "Telstra sold me this wireless Internet service and they promised it would work both at my home and at my office," he said. Said home is in the Melbourne CBD, and said office is in Kyneton, a lovely town about an hour away from Melbourne.
With the OPEL bid cancelled and procedural questions dogging the FTTN bid, Australia is currently in something of a technological limbo.
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.
Nokia and Ericsson have said they've each separately reached milestones for cell phone equipment that uses wideband-CDMA, the mobile phone standard expected to dominate its rivals by 2005.
Today's smart phones are less about ring tones and more about extending your corporate applications well and truly into the field. Say goodbye to the deskbound worker -- and hello to a potential data and security nightmare, warns David Braue.
With Telstra set to shut off its CDMA network we want to hear your comments and your experiences with the switch over to the Next G network.
Industry analysts are always predicting what will happen in the future. David Braue went back in time five years to see how analysts expected the mobile comms market to evolve, and then compared it to what actually happened.
New technology gains legitimacy when it solves real business problems, but becomes indispensable when it offers to take that business in completely new directions. Such has been the case at Maroochy Shire Council, where a quite conventional thin-client rollout is now facilitating new ways of working for employees in the office and on the road.
