Telstra Mobile Network Upgrades – Yarck

Mobile Network Tower

Council would like to share information with the Yarck community about the Telstra Mobile Network Upgrade occurring this month. Telstra will be upgrading the mobile network from Monday 21 to Saturday 26 August.

Telstra has shared the following with Council:

“Telstra is upgrading its mobile network at Yarck with work to take place between 21 – 26 August. Mobile services will be impacted at various times during this period.

As this upgrade work needs to be carried out during daylight hours for health and safety reasons, our technicians will need to switch off the equipment which support mobile services in the area. This may result in some disruption to mobile services. Every effort will be made to reduce the impact to our customers, and we apologise for any inconvenience.

These upgrade works can cause disruption to all devices using the Telstra Mobile Network, including but not limited to mobile handsets, EFTPOS machines, and any device with a Telstra Mobile SIM.

Upgrade work and testing, if all goes according to plan, will be completed by 26 August. Site Outages will be kept to a minimum during that period, and we anticipate launching the improved services as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we upgrade the network.”
