The Mobile Network Hardening Project aims to reduce the risks of service outages and improve restoration times of mobile telecommunications in communities impacted by natural disasters by co-funding projects with carriers and telco companies that aim to deliver resilience upgrades. This can include portable generators, power back-up upgrades and physical mobile tower hardening.
As part of round 3 funding, the Australian Government has launched a project noticeboard to enable communities through their Local Governments, state and federal parliamentarians to identify potential projects or locations that need to increase resilience.
The scope of the Mobile Network Resilience program has been expanded to include sites in the peri-urban fringe, which is consistent with advocacy by WALGA.
In the next round of funding, the Government is providing $20 million for projects located in areas impacted by, or at risk of natural disasters. The telecommunications industry is encouraged to review these submissions when preparing their applications.
