New mobile network infrastructure at Gurley and North Star provided by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) as part of the Narrabri to North Star section of Inland Rail, has been activated by Telstra, providing improved connectivity for trains operating on the section and for residents and businesses.
The new mobile tower at North Star will be further upgraded with a new high-speed backhaul link delivered in September to further improve service quality.
Another two local towers will be activated in the coming months at a total cost of $3.4 million to deliver operational connectivity for trains running on the track in the section and to also enhance mobile telecommunications in the area.
The new 50-metre mobile tower at North Star, ninety kilometres northeast of Moree, and the upgraded Gurley base station, will deliver improved depth of coverage and performance to local homes and businesses, with the fibre backhaul to both also being upgraded to deliver additional capacity, a spokesman said.
