SCARBOROUGH – Telus Mobility clients in five major urban centres across Canada can now access the Internet, e-mail servers and other data networks at speeds at least six times faster than previous mobile data services.
Telus’ wireless high speed offers customers in Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, “broadband data access they’ve become accustomed to on their desktops, but now they can take that speed on the road. With typical download speeds of 400 to 700 kilobits per second, and possible speeds of more than 2 megabytes per second, Telus Mobility’s Wireless High Speed network offers clients the speed they need for powerful mobile computing applications,” says the press release.
Telus Mobility plans to extend Wireless High Speed service to other urban centres in 2006. Based on the CDMA 1xEVDO standard, the newest Third Generation (3G) wireless data technology available, Wireless High Speed was built with network infrastructure solutions provided by Lucent Technologies and Nortel.
