Telstra has claimed that Australians will have access to the world’s fastest 3G hotspot after the launch of the Telstra Ultimate Mobile Wi-Fi in what the telco describes as being able to deliver “blistering download speeds ranging from 1.1Mbps to 20Mbps”.

 

Warwick Bray, Executive Director of Telstra Mobile Products, said a surge in laptop, tablet and smartphone ownership meant Australians were increasingly turning to fast mobile broadband connectivity to get the most out of their mobile devices.

 

“Equipped with an Ultimate Mobile Wi-Fi device, businesses can connect teams or multiple Wi-Fi enabled devices wherever there is Next G network coverage. This means businesses can now take their own fast network with them on customer visits, to trade and community events, or to temporary work locations. It gives businesses the flexibility to keep people productive when they’re out on the road by connecting to email and work files at fast internet speeds.” Mr Bray said.

 

Consumer customers will be able to use the BigPond Ultimate Mobile Wi-Fi device in Ultimate coverage areas to serve up high bandwidth content such as video and music to multiple devices simultaneously.
