History Of Mobile Phones In Australia.
In Australia, Telstra introduced the first analogue cellular network in 1987. The cost of this new technology was between $3 500 - $6 500 and therefore its usage was limited to only those who could afford it. .
By 1988, improved coverage saw Telstra gain 30 000 subscribers. By the end of the 1990's subscription had jumped to 185 000. By 1991, major capital cities and highways linking them were now covered by the network. During this period the second communications licence was issued to Optus Communications.
In 1992 the analogue network covered 84% of Australia's population with a connection rate of 700 new connections per day and so by September 1992 Telstra had over 500 000 subscribers. Optus Communications commences its services on 15th June 1992. A third licence was also issued to Vodafone and at the same time it was announced that the analogue network would cease to exist on 1st January 2000 with the introduction of new technology called Global System for Mobiles (GSM) which would be digital. Telstra launched the first GSM network on 27th April 1993.
Mobile telephony has evolved over time and is classified as either first, second or third generation:.
1st generation systems, AMPS (advanced Mobile Phone Systems) were predominantly based on analogue transmission.
