The foundation: Telstra’s Mobile Network


4G LTE ADVANCED 4G LITE

Category 3 (15MHz) Category 4^ (20MHz) Category 6 (40MHz)

WE ARE PREPARING THE NETWORK FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF 4G LTE-ADVANCED CARRIER AGGREGATION DEVICES


Preparing the network for new world leading technologies such as 4G-LTE-Advanced and channel aggregation.

Further expand our 4G coverage beyond our current 85% Australian population reach.

Continue to expand our coverage by adding more than 100 new coverage sites to the network.

Continue to invest in the backhaul to ensure our customers continue to enjoy a superior network experience in more places.

Telstra has invested over $4 Billion into the mobile network to date. In FY13/14 we will:

over $4 Billion invested into the mobile network to date

Telstra 4G leading the way Experience Australia’s largest 4G coverage - our “4x4” mobile network

With Telstra you enjoy 4G speeds across 4 times the coverage area of any other network in Australia

4G not only provides faster speeds, it also provides greater capacity so you can enjoy a more reliable and richer network experience.


Using LANES to deliver a mission critical mobile broadband capability



Keeping the community safe The LANES strategy is a unified national approach. It’s designed to better support our emergency services organisations as they protect communities now and in the future.

PPDR Capability

Every Day ESOs have sole and exclusive use of their own spectrum, ensuring critical communications are provided to remove, rural and urban centres more equitably.

Major Incident During a major event, PPDR capability is immediately augmented using commercial capability by providing priority access and preferential data treatment for mission critical communications in Telstra’s LTE coverage areas.

Disaster In the event of a disaster critical communications are further augmented with additional PPDR capability that is available to all ESOs.


PSA PARTITIONED e.g. 800MHz

PPDR (or use of 900MHz ahead of PPDR spectrum

allocation)

PUBLIC LTE e.g. 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz today

700MHz, 2500MHz from 2015

Augmenting partitioned spectrum with commercial capacity


LANES

PSA-only partitioned spectrum expanded by augmenting with preferential data on the public LTE spectrum in LTE coverage areas

Potential spectrum in the 800MHz and 4.9 GHz bands for Public Safety Agencies (PSAs)

Utilise Telstra spectrum resources to enhance PSA operations in an integrated network

scenario (LANES) in times of need


The capability we have developed and demonstrated to key industry segments The network provides 4 key capabilities

1 A dedicated and partitioned spectrum ‘lane’ of capacity for PPDR use, providing exclusive access and mobile broadband data

Capacity expanded by allocating preferential data treatment on our commercial 4G LTE technology in LTE enabled areas

Prioritised network access of PPDR services on our commercial 4G LTE technology in LTE enabled areas (85% population)

Seamless operation between the partitioned spectrum allocation to the public network where LTE is enabled.

3GPP standards engagement for public safety Telstra strongly support a 3GPP roadmap

3GPP’s objective is to preserve the considerable strengths of LTE while also adding features needed for public safety

Active industry engagement with the LTE standards community in 3GPP to create the system improvements needed to meet public safety requirements.

Cooperation has been established between 3GPP and other groups to ensure broad representation of the public safety community.


We are driving the ecosystem development for all to benefit

We have developed the LANES concept and are working with Ericsson to commercialise it

Working with device partners on ruggedized, fit for purpose devices

Telstra have been active in the industry to develop a regional harmonised capability •  APT (Asia Pacific Telecommunity) forum work

with PPDR band harmonisation •  APT forum work with LANES adoption

(and subsequent interest in other regions) •  IMT (International Mobile Telecommunications) forum for

introduction of LANES

Integrated Video/PTT & dispatch


Mission critical mobile broadband capability today


We have demonstrated LANES in the live Telstra network

Following the Showcase, LANES was successfully deployed at the Woodford Folk Festival by the Queensland Police Service.

We showcased this capability to Government and Industry representatives in Brisbane and Perth through a series of live demonstrations

In late November/early December 2013, Telstra piloted LANES in the live network.

By leveraging an existing robust national telecommunications infrastructure, ESOs can seamlessly interoperate and communicate with each other nationally, as well as vital services including utilities, hospitals, public warning systems and our defence forces.
