As of 31 August 2024, Telstra will be discontinuing all 3G services throughout Australia. Consequently, our 3G-based telemetry units, including Picos, Solos, C1’s, C2’s, and 3G C3’s, will cease to operate. Note the 3G network shutdown will not affect any 900MHz or UHF radio nodes, or gateways connected via a satellite backhaul. Only your 3G gateways or standalone units will need to be upgraded.
To ensure a seamless transition, we have introduced the 4G/LTE C3+ and Solo+ units as replacements for your existing 3G devices. There's no need to worry; these upgraded units are designed to enhance performance and reliability. Please reach out to your dealer this week or contact us at helpdesk@observant.net to check if you need to take any action before August.
