Telstra has expanded 4G and 5G mobile coverage throughout Kyneton, with a series of new mobile sites now delivering improved connectivity.
A new 4G and 5G mobile base station at the showgrounds has been switched on and will support an additional 10 5G small cells that were recently rolled out through the area.
Telstra regional engagement manager Marcus Swinburne said the new sites had expanded Telstra’s coverage in the area for residents and visitors.
“We know the community’s been looking forward to improved mobile coverage and I’m pleased to say we’ve completed construction and the site is now on-air,” Mr Swinburne said.
“The additional 4G and 5G coverage will allow customers to make calls and access our network in more places, and also improve capacity to ensure a better experience.
“As a company, we heavily invest in improving regional connectivity and this site is another example of our commitment.”
Telstra’s commitment to the Macedon Ranges is driven by local insights and community engagement with the local Telstra team.
“We have nearly 30 people who live or work in the Macedon Ranges and are involved in the local community,” Mr Swinburne said.
“We understand the importance of being local, either by showing up on social media forums and assisting, including sponsoring local community groups, through to working collaboratively with the Macedon Ranges Shire Council and our local federal and state members of parliament.”
