Telstra and TPG Telecom have claimed an Austraian-first, working together to re-stack their mobile network spectrum holdings, offering customers in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart and Perth what they say delivers a better network experience, including improved speeds.

Swedish telecommunications equipment vendor Ericsson is collaborating with Telstra to develop an enterprise solution with an extension into the hybrid cloud space, following a successful 5G edge computing trial with an Australian financial institution in 2019.

Telstra and Ericsson say they've set a new network speed record, achieving peak download speeds of 4.2Gbps on a 5G mmWave data call using 800MHz of spectrum capability.

The 5G Future Forum, a group of global 5G leaders working together to accelerate the delivery of Multi-access Edge Computing-enabled solutions around the world, will release its first technical specifications to its members in the third quarter of 2020.

Telstra will switch off its 3G technology in June 2024 as part of its upgrade to the newer 4G and 5G technologies, the company says, offering no specific reason as to why it was making this announcement more than four years out from the date.

Telstra is partnering with Ericsson and the Melbourne Cricket Club to install 5G into the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in readiness for the AFL grand final next Saturday.

Telstra has sacked four senior officials in a management shake-up, with chief financial officer Warwick Bray, technology lead Stephen Elop, wholesale chief Will Irving and media unit chief Joe Pollard all given pink slips.
