Telstra has launched the Smart Modem 3, featuring Wi-Fi 6 and promising faster Wi-Fi speeds than before.

The Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 will provide 4G voice failover in the event of a broadband outage or a delay in migrating to NBN services.

Telstra's 4G network is now a little more accessible, with the telco launching a new Wi-Fi modem, sold with a prepaid SIM card.

Telstra also said today that its 4G-capable Telstra Smart Modem would be provided to new customers signing up for home Internet bundles, customers moving home, and most customers migrating to the NBN.

The billing is actually split between $99 for the home internet and phone bundle and $25 per month for the Telstra Smart Home Starter Kit and subscription with a free Google Home.
