Important Information Regarding the Closure of the 3G Network

As technology advances, networks become obsolete and service providers eventually phase them out. In line with this, Telstra and Optus have both announced that they will be shutting down their 3G networks. This means that customers who are still using 3G communicators to connect their alarm to the monitoring centre will need to upgrade their alarm communicator.


The Telstra 3G network will be switched off on 30 June 2024, and the Optus 3G network will be switched off from September 2024. This means that if your security alarm monitoring system is still connected to the 3G network, it will no longer work after these dates. To ensure that your security alarm monitoring continues to work, you will need to upgrade to a 4G cellular communicator.

Upgrading your security alarm monitoring system is an important step that will help to keep your property safe and secure. Here are some things you need to know:
  1. Check if your security alarm monitoring system is still using the 3G network. If you are not sure, contact us, and we'll be able to tell you.
  2. Talk to your security alarm monitoring provider about upgrading your system to a 4G cellular communicator. We can advise you on the best options available and help you to choose the right one for your needs.
  3. Schedule the upgrade as soon as possible. Don't wait until the last minute to upgrade your security alarm monitoring system. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can be sure that your property is protected.
  4. Once your new system is installed, update your emergency contact list to ensure that we have the correct information in case of an emergency.
