Telstra Next G Network

Telstra just launched its new product which they called it Next G Network. Here’s what it said from Telstra Next G website:

Our new Next G™ (850Mhz) network is more than 100 times larger than any other 3G network in Australia, and covers more than 98% of the Australian population.
It brings to all those within its coverage area, access to an exciting and growing range of 3G products and services that will give Australians more ways to do more things - at faster speeds and in far more places than ever before. We are continuing to expand and when completed, Next G will provide coverage to more Australians than any other mobile network.
Additionally, you’ll be able to access voice and SMS mobile services in more than 140 countries overseas.It means all city and country mobile customers who purchase a handset for use on Next G, will have access to traditional mobile phone calls or our new video calling and entertainment services.

Telsta use this slogan for their campaign:  “You say goodbye, and I say hello” and they spend a lot of money on the advertising in tv or other media as well.

Here are some highlight from the new next G :

Faster

Say goodbye to lost time.
Real life is fast. You need your important calls, messages and email, on demand, even when you’re on the move.
Say hello to making the most of every minute.
Telstra’s Next G™ Network keeps up with real life, helping you make the most of every minute. Access high speed email, video conferencing and telephone services through a network that can keep up with you.

Simpler

Say goodbye to the legwork.
Choosing between suppliers, products and contractors to get the job done can take more time than doing the job itself. All that legwork is costing valuable time that could be spent on better things.
Say hello to simplicity.
Next G™ one-click technology gives you access to directories, maps and services on websites like Citysearch®, Mobile Whereis® and Yellow™ Mobile, all at the touch of a button, so you can make informed decisions on the go. That makes your mobile one of the easiest-to-use sources of information around.

Superior

Say goodbye to poor coverage.
Say hello to clear and uninterrupted communication.
Next G™ gives you seamless communication, letting you email, talk, and even watch your favourite news and sports programs while you’re on the move across Australia.
