The Charmhaven area will soon have new and improved telecommunications coverage with the installation of a mobile tower at 210 Pacific Hwy.

It will significantly improve Optus 4G and 5G mobile coverage and capacity providing much-needed voice and data services, particularly in the northern Charmhaven area.

The proposed location for the mobile tower will be at the rear of the BP service station opposite the Charmhaven shopping centre on the Pacific Hwy.

There will be a new 35m monopole with an overall height of 36.4m with antenna protrusions supporting Optus telecommunications antennas and equipment, all housed within a fenced compound.

The new infrastructure will be capable of sharing wireless telecommunications with other providers and co-location with other carriers and government entities.
