Jan Juc has gained access to Australia’s 5G network for “the first time” following recent upgrades to a local mobile site, according to Telstra.
Telstra acting regional general manager Garry Austin described the upgrades as a “game-changer”.
“Customers with 5G devices will be able to experience faster download speeds, greater capacity during the busiest times on the network and better connectivity,” he said.
“We know these mobile network upgrades will make a big difference to locals and visitors ahead of this summer and for businesses who rely on connectivity for tourism and trade in these places.”
The telecommunications company had also increased capacity on the 4G network, meaning better connectivity and less congestion in summer during the town’s busy holiday period, Mr Austin said.
Ten 5G sites are now “on air” across Jan Juc, Torquay, Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove, according to Telstra.
More than 3700 Telstra 5G sites are active in more than 200 cities and towns across Australia, with the network’s footprint covering 75 per cent of the population, according to the company.
