Optus customers in the Macedon Ranges can look forward to improved coverage across the region.
Four new sites in the Macedon Ranges – Newham South, Hanging Rock, New Gisborne and Kyneton West – have been boosted with improved connectivity and coverage in the past six months.
Optus territory manager for north west Victoria Luke Dietz said he was delighted Optus would be providing improved mobile coverage.
“We are thrilled to be … providing communities in the area with real telecommunications competition and great value,” he said.
“Ensuring Australians are able to access reliable mobile coverage is something we are continuing to prioritise.
“For regions like the Macedon Ranges, it means greater safety for people living, working and travelling through the area by unlocking access to communication.
“The Macedon Ranges most renowned natural landmark Hanging Rock is one of four sites that will now see improved Optus coverage. This site is a hub of recreational activity for locals and tourists alike.”
Mr Dietz said the coverage in Kyneton West builds on an existing Optus tower in Kyneton, which provides expanded service to the east and north of the town.
“The introduction of these four new sites demonstrates our commitment to the Macedon Ranges region.”
