The 3G network shutdown is looming – it’s time to make the move!
Why It’s Crucial to Act:
Major Australian Telco networks are accelerating their 3G service shutdowns. Delaying your response could lead to critical business systems failing. Telstra will shut down the last parts of it’s 3G network in June 2024, and Optus is due to follow in September 2024. Vodafone lead the change with a 15 December 2023 shutdown date.
The Time to Act is Now:
With Vodafone already ceasing services and others following suit shortly, the window for transitioning is narrowing. It’s important for you to act swiftly to upgrade your systems if you need to. Remember, post-shutdown, 3G-only devices will be non-functional, and 4G devices without voice call support will lose this capability.
Seize the Opportunity:
Experience the benefits of faster and more advanced networks by upgrading to 4G or 5G. Don’t just plan for the switch-off, let’s work together to build a solution that’s not only ready for today but also for tomorrow.
IoT Applications at Risk:
Is your business relying on any of these systems? Ensure they're future-proofed with a 4G or 5G upgrade.
- Meter reading
- SCADA/telemetry
- Eftpos
- Vending
- Industrial Alarm Paging Systems (SMS Alarming)
- PLC remote communications / diagnostics
- Utilities remote infrastructure such as reclosers
- Cathodic Protection Systems
Why Act Now?
Avoid the rush
With 2024 upon us, the urgency to initiate your upgrade plan cannot be overstated. The task of transitioning your 3G technologies demands immediate attention to ensure operational continuity.
Improved Reliability and Performance
Newer 4G and 5G networks provide faster data speeds, lower delay, and better connections, making your IoT and industrial communication systems much more efficient.
Avoid hidden surprises
Planning provides the ability to understand the magnitude of migrating your IoT environment. Don’t get smacked with one huge bill!
3G Shutdown Case Study
We've helped organisations big and small with their transition away from 3G
As a provider of transportation services facilitating 80 million trips annually, the Adelaide Metro provides an important service to the people of Adelaide.
With the impending shutdown of the Telstra 3G network, Adelaide Metro needed to transition over 2,000 3G enabled routers to 4G enabled devices to ensure the continuous operation of their services.
