In a press briefing conducted by the company this morning, Jenny Young, Executive Director of Telstra Consumer said that the BigPond Elite Network Gateway is ideal for users who are constantly on the move and do not have access to ADSL/Cable.
"Australian families are looking to access content and interactive services on-demand and on multiple devices and screens around their home. The new BigPond Elite Network Gateway satisfies this need. It enables users to enjoy the freedom of secure wireless high-speed internet connectivity, without messy wires or access to fast fixed line broadband," says Young.
The BigPond Elite Network Gateway turns a single Next G network wireless broadband service into a Wi-Fi and Ethernet hotspot providing internet connectivity to users throughout the home. During our hands-on test, we were able to achieve a maximum download speed of 10.43Mbps and an upload speed of 1.22Mbps (via speedtest.net).
David Stewart, Managing Director of NetComm, said the Elite Gateway was the first combination 3G modem-router in Australia to use embedded HSPA+ wireless broadband technology.
