MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, 2000 JUN 27 (NB) -- By David Frith, Computer Daily News.

Canada-based Nortel [NYSE:NT] and Australian telco Telstra [NYSE:TLS] are claiming a world first after demonstrating live wireless Internet applications trading data at better than 50Kbps on a live general packet radio service (GPRS) system - around five times faster than the 9,600bps transmission rate of GSM (global system for mobiles) data.

Nortel earlier this year won the contract to supply and deploy Telstra's GPRS system, against opposition from Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola/Cisco.

The packet-based GPRS system runs over a GSM network. It will allow "always on" Internet access on mobile phones, or handhelds, Telstra says.

Telstra and Nortel say their record speeds were achieved at a Sydney conference while Web browsing on a notebook PC connected to the Net via a GPRS-enabled mobile phone.
