• Telstra launches 'supercharged' 5G trial of evolutionary mmWave technology 
• Offers download speeds three times faster than the speediest NBN connection
• Coincided with a major milestone in Telstra's fast-tracked 5G coverage roll-out
• 5G rolled out to eight million Australians in 47 cities and towns across the nation

A 'supercharged' 5G trial with internet download speeds of up to 3 gigabits - or 375 megabytes - a second is about to go public in Australia for the first time.

Telstra has launched public trials of its 5G evolutionary technology called mmWave or 'millimetre wave', which offers never before seen download speeds in Australia.

The 'supercharged' 5G network will reportedly offer download speeds which are three times faster than the best NBN connection.

Telstra users on the Gold Coast and Parramatta will be the first in Australia to test the new technology from Tuesday. 

The launch coincides with a major milestone reached ahead of schedule in Telstra's fast-tracked 5G roll-out, which is now available in 47 cities and towns across Australia.

More than eight million Australians in 700 suburbs now have 5G coverage in a technology roll-out fast-tracked due to the coronavirus crisis.
