Off the beaten track doesn't have to mean out of coverage

This is branded content for Telstra

In our increasingly digital world, connection is more important than ever, both online and offline - no matter what journey you're on.

Whether you live in a rural area, or you're enjoying some of Australia's beautiful landscapes in a caravan, a reliable internet connection and phone signal is so important, regardless of your situation.

We rely on connection for work, leisure and play.

Telstra recognises this, and has developed the Telstra GO Repeater to help Australians maintain that special connection with loved ones, and their important endeavours.

The GO Repeater is a network coverage extension device that maximises mobile signal in areas of low coverage.

It works by receiving a signal from nearby Telstra mobile base stations, then amplifying and distributing the upgraded signal to a designated area through an antenna.

Virtual work meetings, FaceTime calls, image sharing and video streaming are all important events in our daily lives, and Telstra's Go Repeater devices aim to improve them by boosting the quality and strength of images and sounds.

The devices also improve handset battery life, limiting the need for handsets to constantly search for a signal, again upholding connection and communication.

With an increased uptake in remote work and local travel, the GO Repeater devices are a welcome innovation, helping to keep families in touch with improved video calling capabilities and remote workers on track with reduced disruptions to the network.

The devices come in two different forms; the Telstra GO Mobile Repeaters and the Telstra GO Stationary Repeaters.

The Telstra GO Mobile Repeater is suitable for use in cars, other vehicles, marine vessels, or caravans while the Telstra GO Stationary Repeater has been designed for use in offices, buildings, homes, and businesses.
