The new mobile base station at Brooms Head has been switched on. This will provide better phone service to make calls, browse the internet and stay connected.

This macro-cell base station will provide new and improved 3G and 4G mobile coverage for residents and visitors to Brooms Head, including to the caravan park and beaches.

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said the new mobile base station was part of the Mobile Black Spot Program.

“This program has funded 25 mobile base stations in our electorate. 20 of these are completed and are now live.” Mr Hogan said.

“I know how frustrating it is to be talking on the phone or browsing the internet and then lose service.”

“I am committed to improving connectivity for all our communities.”

“These towers make it easier for people to stay connected and also make it easier to do business and access education.”
