Telstra talks up Next G network

From

Telstra is talking up its Next G network, claiming the wide coverage and
data speeds of its Next G network could open up new opportunities for
businesses across Australia to monitor and control remote sites without
leaving their home or office.

According to Telstra this will come in handy for rural areas when it closes
its 2G CDMA network on 28 April.

Telstra country wide director, Gary Goldsworthy, said the high data speeds
of the Next G network provided high quality video streaming and enabled
users to control remote cameras or equipment from anywhere they had an
internet connection.

"Remote telemetry, which uses wireless technology to monitor and report
data, is enhanced on Telstra's Next G network. This provides businesses with
a huge potential to improve efficiency, reduce operational costs and provide
superior real time information," Goldsworthy said.

Telstra is currently working with a number of third parties, including the
University of New England (UNE), to assist them in developing solutions that
use the high data speeds and wide coverage of the Next G Network.

"The UNE's RMCam product for example is a remote monitoring solution
developed to deliver vision and telemetry services, with the key benefits
being the mitigation of travel time, personnel expenses and maximising
opportunity cost savings associated with staff and capital re-deployment,"
Goldsworthy said.

He said some examples of video-based telemetry services could include the
remote viewing and monitoring of aquaculture sites, livestock in paddocks or
even for security purposes.

"Currently businesses such as farms, vineyards and aquaculture operators are
using telemetry over the slower 2G mobile networks, such as CDMA, to monitor
data such as rainfall, wind speed, soil moisture and water temperature,"
Goldsworthy said.

"These businesses now have the opportunity not just to get this data from
remote sites but to actually see what is happening on the ground and control
remote equipment without leaving their office."

According to Goldsworthy, this has the potential to offer enormous savings
in both time and resources as businesses no longer have to travel to remote
sites to check the status of or make adjustments to their operations.

However Goldsworthy reminded telemetry customers that the CDMA network was
scheduled to close on 28 April.

You dont need NextG to do that, fuckwit.

And we will see if you clowns are allowed to do that.

Just as true of 3G, fuckwit.

OK, please provide links to working NEXT-G telemetry products.

Pity that telemetry doesn;t need 'high speed', usually works fine on a 300
baud modem

Aside from integration with a Canon camera, an existing suite of compatible
devices are available, which include:

- Davis Weather Station
- Campbell Scientific data logger
- Bar Code Readers
- Weight Scale and NLIS readers
- Gate, Pump, irrigation and lighting control

So as of the 8th of April "businesses such as farms, vineyards and
aquaculture operators are using telemetry over the slower 2G mobile
networks".
So much for Mikey the dunny cleaner's claim that telemetry wasn't a problem
and "Businesses went early and almost all of those are migrated.".......

The 2m customers on it are likely to. Otherwise they would have stayed on
GSM instead, wouldnt they?

Not necessarily. Change over phones - everybody wants the latest.

What's the odds most people don't know or care about 3G, just take what
the drone sells them?

Not necessarily, plenty are stupid enough to just do what
telstra suggests when turning the cdma system off and
either dont or arent capable of analysing whether NextG
or GSM would be most suitable for their needs.

They certainly dont get unbiased advice from telstra on that question,
particularly on the fact that its only GSM that has any $0/month sims.
