Ericsson demos 21Mbit/s wireless

Ericsson has demonstrated high speed HSPA Evolution functionality capable of peak network speeds up to 21 Mbps on the Telstra Next G commercial network in Australia with the world's first data call on the newly-enabled network. For the first time, a commercial network makes use of the enhanced, standardized improvements called HSPA Evolution.
This adds a new dimension to broadband experience with the capability for significantly faster internet browsing and file download, even faster than many fixed broadband connections. With HSPA Evolution, operators will increase the capacity in the networks and reduce the costs to deliver Mobile Broadband services.
Michael Rocca, Group Managing Director, Telstra Networks & Services says, "HSPA Evolution is live and working for the first time anywhere in the world in a commercial network on the Telstra Next G network.
Trials of the 21Mbps mobile broadband service begin this month with a full commercial launch to follow early next year.
