3G network shutdown by Telstra and Optus delayed to 28 October due to safety concerns and customer unpreparedness.
Australian telcos Telstra and Optus have delayed the shutdown of their 3G networks until October 28 amid safety concerns and customer unpreparedness.
Up to 380,000 mobile phones may lose regular call and emergency services connectivity once the 3G network is closed, and approximately 200,000 medical alert devices rely on Australia's 3G mobile network.
The 3G shutdown is necessary for freeing up spectrum for 4G and 5G networks, but the delay aims to give people more time to prepare and avoid potential safety issues.
Telcos and industry stakeholders are urged to raise awareness of the imminent disconnection of system-critical devices.
