I heard something on the ABC about six months or so ago when i was outwest tripping around, whereby Telstra are upgrading the digital radio service that the remote homesteads use and replacing it with CDMA. This obviously will boost the coverage of CDMA for those of us driving in remote places.

Does anyone have any details on the rollout of this new service, ie which areas are being covered when etc.

The Digital radio service is what the remote homesteads use for telephony. It consists of an antenna, 10metre mast, and 3-4 solar panels. This links to a main Telstra tower central to other homesteads.

I was thinking how much additional coverage this will provide as I pass a lot more homesteads than CMDA base stations!

Cheers,

Glenn.
