Telstra and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) have conducted trials of next generation mobile technology in Australia, successfully achieving peak speeds of 100Mbps download and 31Mbps upload over a record-breaking distance of 75 kilometres in regional Victoria.

The extended range field trial was conducted between Mount Hope and Mount Burrumboot in central Victoria by engineers from Telstra and Nokia Siemens Networks. The trial used Nokia Siemens Networks’ commercially-available LTE-ready Flexi Multiradio Base Station and Evolved Packet Core (EPC), with pre-commercial LTE USB dongles from third-party vendors.

Michael Rocca, chief operations officer, said the range testing is of critical importance for the future of this technology in regional Australia and Telstra’s learnings will be of great interest internationally. Kalevi Kostiainen, head of Nokia Siemens Networks, Australia and New Zealand said the benefits of LTE in urban environments are currently being deployed globally, having already been extensively tested and the business benefits well understood, and the joint trial demonstrates how LTE can be extended to provide cost effective solutions for rural and remote environments.
