ACS Riverina Murray Regional Fireside Chat: Gazing into the crystal ball of rural and regional telecommunications
Join us for an insightful panel discussion on the future of rural and regional telecommunications. This is a unique opportunity to navigate the transition from Telstra's 3G network and gain valuable insights from our panel of three esteemed specialists. They will delve into the immediate impacts of this transition, the latest infrastructure development plans, and the cutting-edge innovations set to revolutionise connectivity in rural Australia.
Don't miss this chance to be part of the conversation and discover how emerging technologies like 5G, NBN, WISPs, farm-wide wireless, and satellite internet will transform the digital landscape of our regional communities.
The event will start with Mike Meyer and welcome to Country, noting the role of ACS in the regional technology community.
We're eager to hear from each of the panellists (Dan Winson, Andrew Cottril and Jock Graham). Questions including: Could you please share a little about yourselves, your interest in the field, and when your teams are currently poised with your products/services?
- Impact of 3G Network Closure: What are the immediate impacts of the closure of the 3G network on rural and regional communities, and how can these areas transition smoothly to newer technologies?
- Innovations in Rural Telecommunications: What are some of the latest innovations and technologies that can enhance telecommunications services in rural and regional areas, and how are these being implemented?
- Challenges and Solutions: What are the unique challenges faced in maintaining and expanding telecommunications networks in rural and regional areas, and what solutions are being proposed to address these challenges?
- Future Vision for Rural Connectivity: How do you envision the future of telecommunications in rural and regional Australia in the next 5-10 years
These are simply leading questions to get us started; we'll take time to listen to easy panellists and curate expanded conversation as ideas and questions arise.
We encourage questions from the audience, so please bring your questions to have them answered by our panelists.
The event will wrap up with pizza and community time at 7 pm.
