NSW Telco Authority has delivered 300 new and enhanced radio communications sites across the state to expand the Public Safety Network (PSN) under the NSW Government\u2019s $1.4 billion Critical Communications Enhancement Program (CCEP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSW Telco Authority Managing Director Kylie De Courteney said the new site delivered by NSW Telco Authority was vital to ongoing community safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese sites provide emergency services organisations with a single, integrated network on which to communicate,\u201d Ms De Courteney said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is technology that saves lives and by expanding the footprint of this critical infrastructure we are ensuring frontline responders have a more reliable network to help keep people and places safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPSN sites were crucial in protecting communities and keeping emergency services connected during the widespread 2022 flood events and the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NSW Telco Authority Managing Director Kylie De Courteney said the network expansion was the biggest investment in critical communications infrastructure by the NSW Government in a generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe NSW Government is investing $1.4 billion to expand the PSN to better protect communities, including delivering 675 new and enhanced radio communications sites,\u201d Ms De Courteney said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuring an emergency every second counts, and the new radio sites will make it easier for our local emergency services to communicate when it matters most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
