THE reach of wireless broadband at Inglewood and Serpentine will be extended, NBNCo said last week.
The broadband company said upgrade work had started on local towers as part of its $750 million investment in the NBN fixed wireless and NBN sky muster satellite networks.
Tower upgrades could see outages over the next month. “We are asking the community to prepare for these outages and have back up connectivity if they need it,” said NBN’s Local Victoria head Emily Peel.
““These tower works are critical to the delivery of our program but will mean some planned outages that may affect homes and businesses and their ability to use their nbn service while the work is underway. 
“After the tower works are completed, we expect that faster download speeds during the busy period will become available across the NBN fixed wireless network.”
The NBN tower coverage area is expected to expand from 14km to 28km from a base tower.
