Navigating the 3G Shutdown in Australia
Your Path to a Seamless Transition. Prepare for the 3G Network Sunset by June 2024.
Australia’s telecommunications landscape is undergoing a transformative change, and the telematics industry is at the forefront of this evolution. The impending 3G shutdown between December,2023 to June,2024 has left many businesses in the telematics sector searching for innovative solutions to stay ahead in an increasingly connected world.
It’s now that the clock is ticking, and the countdown have begun, the 3G network once a reliable backbone for telematics is rapidly fading away.
You might be wondering why you should bother learning about the shutdown?We’re here to address the issues and present effective solutions.
Let’s get you future Ready!
3G networks and 4G networks employ distinct equipment and algorithms; 3G relies on wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) technology, utilising the full cellular spectrum used for data transmission, while 4G utilize orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, segregating the spectrum into smaller sub-bands to enhance efficiency.
The discontinuation of the 3G network in Australia might present certain difficulties for Businesses and Individuals, the advantages of the 10x swifter, more efficient, and economically viable 4G technologies will surpass the expenses associated with sustaining the outdated network.
Why Act Now !
| Reliability at Stake Risk disruptions in telematics services, including data delays, lapses in tracking, and inefficient operations. | Loss of Connectivity 3G devices are now obsolete, leading to a loss of real-time data transmission and tracking capabilities. | Obsolete Hardware Increased maintenance costs and operational downtime due to 3G-specific hardware becoming obsolete. | Compliance matters Regulatory requirements like Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandates may no longer be met with 3G technology, potentially resulting in fines and penalties. | Limited Support /Updates 3G shutdown leads to obsolete hardware, causing increased maintenance costs and operational downtime. |
