In the latest endeavour to encourage its remaining CDMA users to move to Next G, Telstra will be contacting users experiencing a number of dropouts on its 3G network to try and solve their problems.
Just how good will the reception be on Telstra's Next G mobile network?
Telstra on Friday activated the HSPA technology needed to boost its Next G network to 21Mbps and made the first data call using the new speeds.
Telstra has doubled the speed users can expect on its Next G mobile network, with the launch of new hardware capable of a theoretical maximum downlink of 7.2Mbps.
Telstra has revealed that it will be increasing the speeds of its Next G network to 21Mbps by the end of this year -- creating what it claims will be the fastest mobile service in the world.
Despite Telstra's pledges that Next G network provides equal or better coverage than CDMA, federal Communications Minister Helen Coonan still foresees a delay to the switch off.
Telstra claims its controversial Next G network is now officially better than its soon-to-be-defunct CDMA equivalent, after the telco sent a team to audit network coverage. Now government testers are hot on their heels.
Telstra has unveiled an upgrade to its Next G mobile high-speed data network that it claims has delivered download speeds of up to 2.3Mbps at a range of 200km.
Telstra has quietly started offering two new ways of accessing its new nation-wide third-generation Next G mobile network, with two new USB modems now on sale.
In an effort to persuade lingering CDMA users to switch to Next G, Telstra has enlisted the help of "coverage advocates" to spread the word across Australia.
Telstra today said it would start upgrading its Next G mobile network to 21Mbps speeds by the end of the year, with Canada-based supplier Sierra Wireless working on the first customer access device.
It's been a long road to the closure of Telstra's CDMA network. ZDNet.com.au takes a look back at how it all happened.
Telstra has denied that its decision to close down its CDMA network will affect the deaf and hard of hearing communities.
Telstra has withdrawn its appeal against a Court ruling which found that it engaged in "misleading" and "illegal" conduct in its Next G advertising, following a decision by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) which disputed claims about the coverage of the network.
Telstra probably knew its Next G advertising campaign was misleading and expected to write it off as the "costs of doing business", according to an IBRS Analyst.
