Telstra has announced that it is months away from testing 4G technology that could push the maximum capacity of its mobile broadband services up to 172Mbps within five years.

Telstra’s incumbent wireless network vendor Ericsson, and newcomers Huawei and Nokia Siemens Networks will supply the technology for the trials.
