Telstra has partnered with Netgear and Broadcom to create the Telstra Gateway Pro, which it states is designed to keep more office devices connected “at greater speeds than before”.Telstra states the Gateway Pro, available for its ADSL, VDSL, NBN and DOT (digital office technology) customers, is the world’s first gateway employing Broadcom’s 4×4 Wi-Fi AC chipset.
It provides dual-band, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, connectivity, employs next-generation Wave 2 Wi-Fi 11 AC technology and MU-MIMO capability with 4×4 antennas, and is equipped with a dual-core 1 GHz processor.
Telstra states that Wi-Fi speeds are expected to be up to six times faster on 5 GHz than on its existing business gateway, with reliable connectivity allowing the connection of more compatible devices at top

speeds, while Wi-Fi coverage is also “better than ever”.
Tests conducted by Telstra demonstrate “the increased coverage and performance achievable” by the Gateway Pro than its existing Telstra Premium Gateway under the same conditions in a typical small office, with further information here.
Telstra worked with Netgear to create a new design, with the Gateway Pro sporting a simple panel with fewer buttons on the front for ease of use and a high-gloss black finish.
