Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has announced a $2 million partnership with a leading Chinese University to research advanced wireless technologies, including the development of 4G and 5G mobile networks.
CSIRO’s Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) Centre is to join forces with the Beijing University
of Post and Telecommunications (BUPT) to establish the Australia-China
Research Centre for Wireless Communications.
CSIRO was a world leader in creating the ubiquitous wireless LAN
technology (IEEE802.11.a/g) and, more recently, the world’s first
6Gigabit/s wireless link.
BUPT has world-leading expertise in Time Division Duplexing (TDD)
technologies, which enable up and down links to use the same frequency
band. It led the development of the world-first 4G TDD trial network in
China.
“CSIRO’s wireless lab, based at Marsfield in Sydney, has comprehensive
world-class capabilities in wireless communications including antennas,
microwave and mm-wave technologies, signal processing and networking,”
the Research Director of the CSIRO ICT Centre’s Wireless Technologies
Laboratory, Dr Jay Guo says.
“The new Australia-China research centre will be a hub for long-term
and broader collaboration between the wireless research communities in
Australia and China”, says Dr Guo.
“The partnership between CSIRO and BUPT specifically, and between
Australia and China in general, will promote cross-fertilisation in
science, and provide an excellent opportunity for the researchers to
make a major impact on the world market.”
Funding for the Australia-China Research Centre for Wireless
Communications is courtesy of CSIRO, BUPT, the Chinese Ministry of
Science and Technology (MOST), and a $500,000 grant from the Federal
Government’s Australia-China Special Fund for Scientific and Technical
Cooperation. The Centre will be officially launched in March.
