Our heavy lift machines are playing a crucial role in supporting Telstra’s communications efforts during a major fire on the west coast of Tasmania. By moving critical equipment into place, we’re helping to ensure that vital connectivity is maintained in these challenging times. Proud to be part of a team that’s making a difference when it matters most. #HeavyLift #Telecommunications #EmergencyResponse #Tasmania #Teamwork
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's ... a flying COW? When bushfires tore through the Tasmanian West Coast recently, the Government Radio Network team rushed to help by deploying emergency connectivity equipment. They're called "COWs" —cell on wheels— and they can create cellular radio networks that phones can connect to when regular infrastructure loses power. A big thanks to our dedicated Field Services and Radio Engineering teams for their efforts to help keep communities supported during natural disasters and keeping communities safe.
