NSW Telco Authority activates CCEP site in Chatswood
Emergency and essential services in Chatswood have received a significant boost in radio coverage with the installation of a 15-channel macro site.
The new single-tower site, recently constructed by the NSW Telco Authority, provides in-building coverage at Westfield Chatswood and substantially increases coverage and reliability for public safety in the Chatswood area.
According to Kate Foy, Managing Director of the NSW Telco Authority, as the Chatswood CBD expanded and new buildings were constructed, government radio network coverage had become affected across the area.
The site is part of the wider Critical Communications Enhancement Program that NSW Telco Authority is rolling out across NSW, increasing radio coverage throughout the state. The construction of a single, multipurpose site saves NSW taxpayers approximately $250,000.
The new site handles more than 400 radio calls daily, made by emergency services including Ambulance NSW, Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW Police.
