Mobile communications, especially in emergency situations, but also as businesses increasingly use mobile connectivity for their operations, is becoming critical. Public safety, emergency response, crisis control and smooth day-to-day operations all rely on people connecting and information being shared accurately. Telstra today is enabling voice and narrowband communications through both private and public mobile networks, while working to develop an integrated mobile broadband solution to meet the needs of tomorrow for emergency services, mining, transport and utilities. This presentation will explore the coverage, resiliency and customer experience that underpin the Telstra mobile broadband communication network, and the roadmap Telstra has to deliver an emergency- grade mobile network that offers dedicated spectrum coupled with the reach and mobile broadband experience that Telstra offers. Anthony Goonan, Director, Network Commercial Engineering, Telstra Corporation

Further expand our 4G coverage beyond our current 85% Australian population reach. Continue to expand our coverage by adding more than 100 new coverage sites to the network. Continue to invest in the backhaul to ensure our customers continue to enjoy a superior network experience in more places. Telstra has invested over $4 Billion into the mobile network to date. In FY13/14 we will: over $4 Billion invested into the mobile network to date ^ Total CAPEX for Fixed access, IT, network core, products, transmission and wireless access Telstra 4G leading the way Experience Australia’s largest 4G coverage - our “4x4” mobile network With Telstra you enjoy 4G speeds across 4 times the coverage area of any other network in Australia 4G not only provides faster speeds, it also provides greater capacity so you can enjoy a more reliable and richer network experience.

It’s designed to better support our emergency services organisations as they protect communities now and in the future. Public Capability Public Capability Public Capability PPDR Capability PPDR Capability PPDR Capability Every Day ESOs have sole and exclusive use of their own spectrum, ensuring critical communications are provided to remove, rural and urban centres more equitably. Major Incident During a major event, PPDR capability is immediately augmented using commercial capability by providing priority access and preferential data treatment for mission critical communications in Telstra’s LTE coverage areas. Disaster In the event of a disaster critical communications are further augmented with additional PPDR capability that is available to all ESOs.

Cooperation has been established between 3GPP and other groups to ensure broad representation of the public safety community.

Telstra Unrestricted Page 13 We have demonstrated LANES in the live Telstra network Following the Showcase, LANES was successfully deployed at the Woodford Folk Festival by the Queensland Police Service. We showcased this capability to Government and Industry representatives in Brisbane and Perth through a series of live demonstrations In late November/early December 2013, Telstra piloted LANES in the live network.
