Australia Telecom CEO Payne
To compete directly with NBN, Australia Telecom (Telstra) is about to launch a 5 G fixed wireless product, trying to get some customers from the A $57 billion fixed network market.
NBN company is responsible for the national broadband network, but due to high wholesale prices, Australia Telecom and NBN are in a fight, the launch of the "5 G Home Internet "to help Australia Telecom avoid NBN, and make higher profits.
tcl can connect homes directly to their 5 G fixed wireless services, thus avoiding paying NBN wholesale prices. High-speed packages are available at the same price as existing NBN packages.
5G service will be launched on Wednesday, priced at A $8 5 a month, and will provide qualified customers with a data network of 5 00 GB. Telecom Australia said customers are expected to download between 50 Mbps and 300 Mbps.
The service could offer a viable alternative for many families struggling to cope with NBN slow speeds, says Michele Garra, head of home and business connectivity in australia.
"Our target customers are the ones who currently experience the worst, and they are limited by traditional ADSL or NBN technologies ," she said. "
"We are also looking for customers who most need to improve the network through our service channels, who often fail and interrupt. "
Optus have launched five fixed wireless services G the market and plan to launch two new high-speed plans later this year, priced at $75 a month and $90 a month, respectively.
Nevertheless, due to the non-competitive agreement between Australia Telecom and NBN, Telstra must be more cautious about this new product. Under the terms of the agreement, if the customer is transferred from the NBN to Telstra, the latter will lose the one-time payment from the NBN.
From fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2020, Australian Telecom received a one-time gain of A $8.9 billion.
The insider told The Times (The Age) and Sydney Morning Herald (The Sydney Morning Herald) that there was some room for ATC. Under the agreement, it allows Australia Telecom to cope with changes in the mobile market, especially 2020 the end of the year, there are many five fixed wireless plans G Optus.
Telstra also did not use its 5 G service as an overall alternative to the NBN because of its high selectivity.
Although G 5 service will be highly targeted, Gallas says its scope can expand rapidly.
"Over the next 12 months, we will scale up to allow more people to participate in this activity especially continue to develop and the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum is available in five G. "
