Seven to build Vivid Wireless nationally

updated The Seven Network has revealed plans to start building out its Vivid Wireless 4G wireless broadband network in most of Australia’s capital cities, following the network’s construction in Perth.

Seven director Ryan Stokes told a conference in Sydney this morning that the company was planning to launch the network in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Brisbane.

Stokes said the networks in the other capital cities would start at major university sites and the areas around them and become starting points for future deployments, with construction work to take place in the next year.

The Vivid Wireless brand will see up to 20Mbps wireless broadband services offered to Perth residents this year, providing an alternative to the 3G mobile networks currently offered by the major telcos.
