Wireless broadband provider Unwired has launched a wireless card offering several months later than originally planned -- but only to a limited group of customers for now.
Wireless broadband provider, Unwired, has announced the extension of its service to cover Sydney's western suburbs, with access provided to more than half a million residential and small business users.
Wireless broadband provider Unwired signed up almost 6,000 new subscribers over the past two months, which the company said was its best performance since its launch last year.
Broadcaster the Seven Network today said it was nearing the end of a review of the technical capabilities of the WiMax network it picked up with its recent acquisition of local wireless internet service provider Unwired.
Media company Seven's plan to acquire WiMax spectrum-holders Unwired appears to have been a success, with Seven's various holding companies now holding over 50 percent of Unwired shares.
Life may be like a box of chocolates -- but telecoms right now is gearing up to be a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, as service providers seek increasingly novel ways to blend their offerings.
With the OPEL bid cancelled and procedural questions dogging the FTTN bid, Australia is currently in something of a technological limbo.
A good merger always gets the pulse racing -- and Seven's takeover of Unwired could be shaping up to be one of the most interesting for a while.
With the CEO of US mobile operator and WiMax cheerleader Sprint, Gary Forsee, now leaving his job, questions are being raised about whether confidence in WiMax can recover from such a body blow.
Unwired was apparently banking today that any announcement to the Australian Stock Exchange involving Google would boost the carrier's stock price.
Optus will resell Personal Broadband Australia's iBurst wireless broadband solution, and is in talks with Unwired about a similar deal.
Australia is about to undergo a long overdue broadband boom, according to an industry report to be released later this month.
Wireless broadband provider, Unwired, has turned on its wireless broadband services across more than 40 Sydney suburbs today, bringing the company closer to the completion of its Sydney wide network.
Wireless broadband users in Australia could enjoy maximum surfing speeds of 75 megabits per second by mid-2006, analysts say.
Unwired CEO, David Spence, has urged Australia's communications regulators to protect a tranche of prime wireless broadband spectrum due to be auctioned September from anti-competitive behaviour by existing carriers.
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.
iBurst is a superb wireless broadband solution that's highly useful for the mobile business user, but users who don't require portability will likely find its price to be a deal breaker.
Australia still has way to go before it can meet its full potential with wireless and broadband.
Intel has confirmed that it has pulled the plug on all plans to add 3G to its Centrino notebook platform. From now on, says the chipmaker, it's WiMAX all the way.
Road warriors rejoice -- 3G data cards are bringing some long awaited speed to mobile Internet access. We take a look at offerings from the major Australian carriers.
