Australia’s wireless broadband provider, vividwireless, has announced the results of TD-LTE Trial with Huawei . The two month trial delivered peak speeds as high as 128 Mbps and consistent speeds between 40 – 70 Mbps.

vividwireless CEO Martin Mercer said the excellent trial results, achieved with technology partner Huawei Australia, mean that Australians will soon be able to access very high speed mobile broadband services that are much faster than ADSL2+.

The purpose of this trial was to see if the advanced TD-LTE technology is mature enough to deliver extremely fast mobile broadband services to our customers. This trial has established that extremely fast, high quality mobile broadband services are within our reach, and can be delivered quickly and cost effectively, he added.

 The trial commenced in December, 2010 and was conducted in inner-city Redfern, as well as Western Sydney around Horsley Park. These locations allowed vividwireless to test the performance of the technology in high demand, high density, inner city conditions such as apartments and cafes, as well as suburban conditions.  

“vividwireless and Huawei set a new standard for mobile broadband when we launched Australia’s first mobile WiMAX network last year. In this Australian-first TD-LTE trial, we are taking those speeds to a whole new level all over again,” said Peter Rossi, Huawei Australia Chief Technology Office.
