TELSTRA will be upgrading its mobile base station at Martins Creek from 12-16 December.
“The upgrades will improve the mobile site’s capacity, meaning faster downloads, smoother streaming and less congestion,” Telstra said in a statement.
Mobile services in the area will be temporarily affected while the upgrade works are underway.
Regional General Manager Northern NSW Michael Marom said, “While disruption is required while the upgrade is underway, 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.”
Telstra mobile customers will receive texts advising of the upcoming work.
Landline services, NBN and Satellite internet services, and mobile coverage from other providers will not be impacted.
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 be switched off during the following periods:
– Friday 12 to Monday 15 December (entire period)
– Tuesday 16 December (eight hours).
