澳大利亚电信公司Telstra和Optus将3G网络的关闭推迟至10月28日, Australian telcos Telstra and Optus have delayed the shutdown of their 3G networks until October 28 amid safety concerns and customer unpreparedness. 一旦3G网络关闭,多达380 000部移动电话可能失去经常的呼叫和紧急服务连接,大约200 000部医疗警报装置依靠澳大利亚的3G移动网络。 Up to 380,000 mobile phones may lose regular call and emergency services connectivity once the 3G network is closed, and approximately 200,000 medical alert devices rely on Australia's 3G mobile network. 3G关机对于释放4G和5G网络的频谱是必要的,但拖延的目的是让人们有更多的时间准备和避免潜在的安全问题。 The 3G shutdown is necessary for freeing up spectrum for 4G and 5G networks, but the delay aims to give people more time to prepare and avoid potential safety issues. 敦促电信公司和行业利益攸关方提高对系统关键装置即将断电的认识。 Telcos and industry stakeholders are urged to raise awareness of the imminent disconnection of system-critical devices.
