Telstra will be upgrading its mobile base station that services Bewong to bring a better 4G/5G user experience.
The upgrades will improve the mobile site’s capacity, meaning faster downloads, smoother streaming and less congestion.
Mobile services in the area will be temporarily affected while the upgrade works are underway.
Telstra mobile customers will receive texts advising of the upcoming work.
These works will not impact landline services, NBN, Satellite internet services, or mobile coverage from other providers.
Any calls to Triple Zero from a Telstra mobile when the site is off air will automatically connect to another mobile network if available for connection to emergency services.
The site will need to be switched off during the following periods:
- intermittent outages between 7am-6pm throughout the week from Monday 9 March to Friday 13 March
- limited outages on Saturday 14 March & Sunday 15 March
- full site outage for up to 12 hours from 7am-6pm on Monday 16 March
- intermittent outages between 7am-6pm on Tuesday 17 March
