What you need to know about the 3G shutdown
In light of the upcoming cessation of the 3G network in Australia by August 2024, businesses are advised to take note of the significant ramifications for their telematic tracking devices. With the discontinuation of the 3G network, these devices will be rendered inoperable and unable to transmit crucial data, necessitating a migration to 4G or 5G compatible devices.
To avoid any negative impacts to business operations, it is essential to undertake the necessary measures well in advance of the shutdown to ensure a seamless transition. We urge businesses to take proactive steps towards upgrading their devices to avoid interruptions to network services. Stay ahead of the curve with our reliable and efficient connectivity solutions and prepare your business for the future today.
What you need to do to prepare
To ensure seamless business operations, it is imperative that devices are upgraded to support 4G or 5G networks prior to the impending shutdown of the 3G network in 2024. Notably, MTData offers devices that are already equipped with 4G and 5G capability, allowing for uninterrupted service following the discontinuation of the 3G network. For those who continue to utilise 3G devices, an upgrade is feasible by replacing the modem board and antenna, representing a streamlined process with minimal disruption to operations.
Additionally, the upgrade process offers cost efficiencies when compared to outright replacement of devices. We urge businesses to take action now to mitigate any potential disruptions and avoid the negative impacts of non-compliance. Upgrade with MTData for reliable and efficient connectivity solutions.
