About the project
Two active sharing mobile solutions will be deployed in Brewarrina and Wilcannia, providing 4G and 5G voice and data services for more than 800 homes and businesses, and providing mobile coverage to 1,350 square kilometres.
The new mobile solutions enable other mobile carriers to access and deliver 4G and 5G mobile services through an innovative shared model (known as active sharing or neutral hosting), which will bring more mobile competition and consumer choice into these communities.
The OneWiFi and Pivotel agreement is the first signed as part of the $30 million Active Sharing Partnership grant opportunity, which closed in late 2022.
The agreement brings active sharing into reality within regional NSW and follows more than 18 months of work by the Regional Digital Connectivity program and the telecommunications sector.
