Communication on-site during construction of a Mangrove Mountain property in the Hawkesbury was proving problematic with poor mobile coverage making it impossible to send or receive data and constant dropouts of voice calls.
Construction management had to leave the site and drive kilometres down the road, closer to a Telstra base station, to find reliable connectivity.
This slowed down work on-site, and was also a work safety issue with workers to move on and off the site.
A site assessment by MobileCorp’s Mobile Managed Services team led to the installation of a Telstra M2 Nighthawk router for data transfer and a Cel Fi GO Repeater to boost voice quality.
Both devices were connected to a Yagi antenna positioned to intercept the 4G signal from the nearest Telstra cell tower.
