TPG Telecom

A new era for mobile services competition and consumer choice in rural and regional Australia is upon us, as the ACCC today cleared our game-changing regional network sharing agreement. This innovative agreement will trigger a fundamental reset of competition and choice for mobile services across Australia as TPG Telecom more than doubles its geographic mobile coverage for the benefit of Australians living, working and connecting right across the nation. Our Chief Executive, Iñaki Berroeta, put it best: "Our regional network sharing arrangement will deliver better service and coverage to our five and a half million mobile customers who will gain access to around 600,000 square kilometres of new coverage, more than doubling the size of TPG Telecom’s national mobile network.” “The expansion of our regional mobile network will drive growth in our customer base in regional and metropolitan areas. It will allow us to win and retain customers in the cities who need reliable mobile service when they travel to the bush and customers in the regional areas looking for a different choice of provider.” We are excited about the opportunity to extend the reach of our award-winning mobile services to even more people and businesses, delivering more competition and choice to all Australians.

A little while back we celebrated #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay, a day aimed at encouraging greater awareness about the vital importance of digital access and inclusion to the more than one billion people around the world who live with disabilities. We held our first-ever Accessibility Hackathon event at our Barangaroo office, in partnership with our charity partner Guide Dogs Australia. The day was aimed at identifying key accessibility challenges people with low vision or blindness face as they interact with TPG Telecom’s brands, spaces, products and services, and devising targeted, sustainable plans and solutions to address them. This included improving the accessibility of our retail stores and experiences, IT support, hiring processes, websites, security verifications, and marketing materials for our customers, people, and community living with low vision or blindness. Over 40 people across seven teams took part, with Guide Dogs representatives and clients with lived experience working with our teams to provide advice on their proposed solutions throughout the day. The TPG Telecom Foundation is proud to partner with four charities specialising in services and programs to positively impact the lives of people with a disability, including Guide Dogs Australia, MissingSchool , Starlight Children's Foundation Australia and Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

We were very proud to co-host an important Cyber Security and Privacy conference with the University of New South Wales UNSW yesterday. The event was opened by Lieutenant General Michelle McGuiness and followed by our very own Chief Technology Officer Giovanni Chiarelli, who both emphasised the critical importance of collaboration between industry, government, and academia to build robust cybersecurity strategies. Lieutenant McGuiness also highlighted the need to encourage more women into security - something TPG Telecom takes very seriously with a security team that is now 35 per cent female. Giovanni highlighted TPG’s commitment to innovation and research, including the creation of an industry-first Cyber Centre of Excellence and partnerships with leading telco partners to enhance security measures. The remainder of the event explored trends in the Cyber Security and research landscape with a range of captivating panels hosted by TPG experts, including Lee Barney and Stuart Peck. Highlights of the event included: - Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): Chaired by Lee Barney from TPG, this panel delved into the readiness of Critical National Infrastructure for new encryption ciphers. The consensus? Australia’s CNI providers need to accelerate their adoption of new technologies to stay secure. - Weaponisation of AI: Led by Prof. Sanjay Jha, this discussion revealed the alarming rise of AI in cybercrime, with tools like Crime GPT increasing phishing scams by 300% in early 2024. The panel emphasized the dual responsibility of governments to foster next-gen AI while developing robust defensive and offensive capabilities. - Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI): Dr Amit Chaubey from AIBC chaired this session, focusing on the dynamic nature of legislation and regulation. The conversation highlighted Australia’s proactive approach to legislative updates and the importance of balancing compliance with ethical practices. - Lessons from General Data Protection Regulation: Chaired by Kate Carruthers, this panel provided valuable insights into avoiding common mistakes in data privacy regulations, drawing lessons from GDPR. Throughout the day, panellists, speakers, and the audience enjoyed several engaging sessions and presentations, including some from TPG Telecom’s in-house cybersecurity experts. A big thank you to all our guests and speakers for their invaluable contributions! #cybersecurity #ai #innovation #telecommunications

Delivering the power of connectivity, and the social and economic benefits it promises to Australia, is what we exist to do. In a country as vast and large as Australia is, that's no easy feat! Today we are excited to announce we have taken a significant step towards this ambition, through a new partnership with leading satellite provider Lynk . This innovative partnership will bring satellite-to-mobile technology to Australia, helping to eliminate coverage deadspots in remote areas. “Combining innovative technologies like sat2phone with our mobile network would bring much needed connectivity to those living and working in remote and rural locations and could play a critical role in delivering life-saving services," said TPG Telecom Chief Technology Officer, Giovanni Chiarelli. “Australia's vast geography and sparse population pose unique challenges for deploying commercially viable mobile networks in remote and regional communities,” Mr Chiarelli said. “By connecting smartphones via satellite to existing mobile networks, sat2phone technology has the potential to transform connectivity right across Australia."

We are thrilled to announce TPG Telecom has secured Australia’s largest IoT smart meter rollout for a water utility, helping South East Water replace its old, mechanical water meters with one million new internet-connected digital meters across its 27,000km pipe water pipe network.   This 10-year deal is estimated to save five billion litres of water annually as well as reduce bills for South East Water’s 1.7 million customers from Port Melbourne through to Portsea and across towards Gippsland. It will do this through near-real-time leak detection, and by enabling customers to track and manage their water consumption using daily updated information.   “TPG Telecom is proud to be at the forefront of NB-IoT deployments with this significant advancement in water resource management, none of which would have been possible without the innovation and thought leadership of South East Water,” said Chris Russo, TPG Telecom General Manager Enterprise & Government Customer Sales & Solutions. “This significant rollout demonstrates our commitment to innovation and customer service excellence and will provide South East Water with the insights and capability it needs to better manage water use for its customers and the environment.” You can read about the rollout here: https://lnkd.in/g8PpXf9R #innovation #iot #infrastructure
