The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
LINK
CSIRO is the federal government agency for scientific research in Australia. It was founded in 1926 originally as the Advisory Council of Science and Industry. -
Advanced Research Projects Agency Network
LINK
ARPANET was one of the world's first operational packet switching networks, the first network to implement TCP/IP, and the progenitor of what was to become the global Internet. The network was initially funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later DARPA) within the U.S. Department of Defense for use by its projects at universities and research laboratories in the US. The packet switching of the ARPANET, together with TCP/IP, would form the backbone of how the Internet works. -
1G Cellular Network
LINK
1G (or 1-G) refers to the first-generation of wireless telephone technology, mobile telecommunications. These are the analog telecommunications standards that were introduced in the 1980s and continued until being replaced by 2G digital telecommunications. -
Darwin to California Connection
LINK
Darwin, Australia gets connected to University of California, Berkeley via a UUCP Dial Up Connection. -
Australian Academic and Research Network
LINK
AARNet or provides Internet services to the Australian education and research communities and their research partners. -
Telstra and Optus Rollout
LINK
In the late 1990s, Telstra and Optus rolled-out separate cable Internet services, focusing on the east coast. In 2000, the first consumer ADSL services were made available via Telstra Bigpond, at speeds of 256/64 kbit/s (downstream/upstream), 512/128 kbit/s, and 1500/256 kbit/s. Telstra chose to artificially limit all ADSL speeds to a maximum of 1500/256 kbit/s. -
2G
LINK
2G (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Second generation 2G cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991.[1] Three primary benefits of 2G networks over their predecessors were that phone conversations were digitally encrypted. -
DIALix and Pegasus Networks
LINK
In 1992 there were two commercial ISPs competing with one another. One being DIALix, providing services to Perth and Pegasus Networks out of Byron Bay.[8] By June 1995 this number had increased to excess of 100 [Internet Australasia Magazine], attributing some fifth of all AARNet traffic. -
3G
LINK
3G, short for third Generation, is the third generation of mobile telecommunications technology.[1]
3G telecommunication networks support services that provide an information transfer rate of at least 200 kbit/s. Later 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.
3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, fixed wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile -
4G
LINK
In telecommunication systems, 4G is the fourth generation of mobile phone mobile communication technology standards. It is a successor to the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D television. -
LTE/4G
LINK
LTE, commonly marketed as 4G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using a different radio interface together with core network improvements.The standard is developed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and is specified in its Release 8 document series. -
5G
LINK
5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) denote the next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards beyond the current 4G/IMT-Advanced standards. 5G is also referred to as beyond 2020 mobile communications technologies. 5G does not describe any particular specification in any official document published by any telecommunication standardization body.
