T-Mobile and Nortel Networks tests high speed wireless internet services

T-Mobile and Nortel Networks have said that they have successfully tested a new high-speed wireless technology which would make them as fast as fixed line wireless internet.

They tested the technology in a car which was driven at an average speed of around 70 kmph while keeping it in range of three cell sites on a highway in Bonn, Germany.

They managed to achieve a data transfer speed of up to 170 Mbit/s for downloads and up to 50 Mbit/s for uploads.

This is much faster than current generation wireless internet services available in the market today.

They aim to take a decision within the next six months whether they would be upgrading their networks to this new technology.
