Better mobile service is coming to Lancefield, with 5G on its way.
Telstra will be upgrading its mobile base station located North of Lancefield-Tooboorac Road, to allow for 5G coverage to the area and boosting the existing 4G coverage in the area.
Telstra mobile services in the area will be temporarily affected while the upgrade works are underway, but there will be no disruptions to the central Telstra mobile site in Lancefield.
Telstra regional general manager for northern and western Victoria Steve Tinker said this will be a great boost for the area.
“We know how important mobile connectivity is for Australians, whether you’re in the city or the country,” he said.
“Bringing 5G to the area is a major mobile milestone. It will deliver higher speeds and capacity to the region, meaning faster downloads, smoother streaming, and less congestion.
“Some disruption is required while the upgrade is underway, but we’ll only be switching off the site when we need to and will have it back online and working better than ever as quickly as possible.”
The site will need to be switched off from 7.30am on Monday, September 1 until 7pm on Monday, September 8.
From Tuesday, September 9 and Wednesday, September 10, there will be interruptions to the mobile network during the day only.
Customers will be notified.
