“Telstra’s Next G™ network is fully enabled with HSPA, delivering to Australians a world-class wireless mobile and broadband experience,” said Mike Wright, Telstra’s executive director of wireless. “Our network is already the world’s largest national 3GSM network and one of the fastest. Since its launch, rapid increases in 3G customer penetration have placed us among the world leaders, and this growth is enabled through a wide range of data-enabled content and services. We are committed to commencing the introduction of HSPA+ later this year and look forward to it further evolving the service with increased network capacity and higher data speeds.”

The HSPA+ trials are expected to take place this year, enabling commercialization of the technology as early as 2009. The trials will use Qualcomm’s Mobile Data Modem™ (MDM™) MDM8200™ chipset. Key features being trialed include 64-QAM HSDPA for 21 Mbps downlink data rates and 2×2 downlink MIMO for 28 Mbps downlink data rates.
