5G continues to be switched on across the Yarra Valley as new sites at Yarra Glen and Kinglake, joining Healesville, Millgrove and Launching Place in having access to Telstra’s 5G network.
Telstra regional general manager Loretta Willaton said, “We’ve expanded Telstra 5G in Melbourne’s outer east with new sites switched on at Yarra Glen and Kinglake.
“With Telstra 5G coverage across more parts of Melbourne’s outer east including Yarra Glen and Kinglake, customers with 5G devices can get faster download speeds and enjoy greater capacity during those busy periods on the mobile network.
“We’re continually expanding our 5G network across Melbourne and Victoria, adding up to 60 new Telstra 5G sites to the network every week across the country.
“With more than 3100 Telstra 5G sites across the country, more than 60 per cent of Australians now live where there’s Telstra 5G.”
There are more than 3100 Telstra 5G sites now on-air across Australia, according to Telstra, who have made a commitment to roll out its 5G network to 75 per cent of the population by the end of June.
Telstra 5G was switched on in Healesville in April last year. Then in January, many suburbs across the Dandenong Ranges became 5G ready.
To utilise 5G, people will need a 5G enabled phone, 5G coverage and a 5G mobile plan. Phones will still revert to the next fastest technology, 4GX or 4G, if in an area where there is no 5G.
