Tens of thousands of phones will stop working and small businesses could be left in the lurch from Monday with the imminent shutdown of Australia ’s 3G network. Telstra and Optus are closing the ageing mobile network from October 28, having delayed their earlier deadlines to launch a public safety campaign.
A number of “vital” technologies run on a wireless communications link back to a base, service hub, control centre or panel. Unless the device is upgraded, that communications link will stop working when the 3G service is turned off. Fire alarms, remote sensors, medical monitors and sensors, tap-to-pay pads, EFTPOS terminals, security systems and cameras, elevator telephones, are just some of the technologies that can run on this link.
