No one company can go it alone in providing customers with all that the new environment has to offer. Partnerships share both the risks and the rewards. They help meet challengesand find solutions. As telecommunications companies like Telstra break out of their traditional core business of carrying communication signals, different industries are working together for the first time. A new approach is required, based on imagination, innovation and collaboration.
Partnerships share both the risks and the rewards.
They help meet challenges and find solutions. Telstra Research brings a valuable technical insight and telecommunications knowledge to partnership alliances. Through our detailed understanding of technology, and the impact of that technology on Telstra's network and customers, Telstra Research researchers can identify and evaluate new technical developments of potential value, for not only Telstra, but also the wider industry. For instance, Telstra Research is working with researchers at Lucent Technologies in the United States and the United Kingdom to better understand what customers will want from third generation mobile phones - what kind of services will be relevant to their lives, and at what price. In another initiative to encourage e-business, Telstra Research has developed software which issues digital certificates to people and computer systems to ensure online security.
