14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia's HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) solution is powering Australian telecommunications company SingTel Optus' HSDPA trials in Australia.
Nokia HSDPA offers almost 10-times faster data services than current 3G networks, meaning an enhanced service experience. Nokia is a leader in the HSDPA market, with a large number of HSDPA contracts. Many network operators have already opened their HSDPA networks with the Nokia solution.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Optus on additional data services and network implementation and will be supporting them in the trial", says Henrik Glud, Account Director, Networks, Nokia. "We believe that the Nokia solutions are well placed and will highlight our expertise not just at the technology, but in the ability to deliver."
The trials began in October in Canberra.
"These trials are just another example of Optus reviewing cutting edge technologies. We are always exploring faster, better and more efficient ways to deliver high speed services to our customers," says Warren Hardy, Managing Director, Consumer Division, Optus.
