Sydney, Sep 20: In a significant development, Ericsson, Telstra and Qualcomm have successfully completed the world's first 2Gbps capable 4G data call using the live commercial network in Queensland, Australia.
"Together with technology partners Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies, Telstra has made the world's first 2Gbps capable 4G data call using our mobile network in the regional centre of Toowoomba in Queensland," Channa Seneviratne, Executive Director, Network and Infrastructure Engineering -- Telstra Operations, said in a statement on Wednesday.
This call follows the 2Gbps speed demonstration at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February and the further testing in Sweden in June.
"This is the first time the technology has been taken out of the lab and deployed using a real commercial network," Seneviratne said.
The live call was achieved using Qualcomm Technologies' mobile test platform powered by the Snapdragon X24 LTE modem -- an Ericsson Radio System base-station Ericsson's Network Software and Ericsson core network.
Success in 5G will depend on a strong underlying 4G network, and this LTE data call over Telstra's live commercial network is an important step forward in the development of 5G.
"We expect to deploy 2Gbps enabled 4G technology in select locations later in 2018," informed Seneviratne.

Lucknow (PTI): A chief judicial magistrate's court in Uttar Pradesh's Banda on Friday ordered a judicial inquiry into the death of gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari, a senior official said.
Banda Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Bhagwan Das Gupta appointed Garima Singh, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (MP-MLA Court Banda) as the investigating officer in the case, the official said.
The CJM has sought the probe report within a month.
The 63-year-old Ansari was brought to the Rani Durgavati Medical College in Banda from the district jail in "an unconscious state" on Thursday evening and died at the hospital following a cardiac arrest.
Afzal Ansari, who is also the Ghazipur MP, on Tuesday alleged that his brother was given slow poison in jail.
"Mukhtar said that he was given a poisonous substance in food in jail. This happened for the second time. Around 40 days ago also he was given poison. And recently, he was again given this (poison) due to which his condition is bad," Afzal Ansari had said.
Afzal Ansari had said that during the virtual hearing of a case in a Barabanki court on March 21, Ansari's lawyer had filed an application in the court alleging that his client had been given "slow poison" in jail due to which his condition was deteriorating.
Earlier, Ansari was hospitalised for around 14 hours on Tuesday after he complained of abdominal pain.
According to the probe order letter, a request was made by the Senior Superintendent, District Jail, Banda on March 28 to nominate an officer for the judicial inquiry into the death of Ansari.
Director General of Prisons SN Sabat had earlier told PTI that there will be a judicial inquiry into the matter.
