Tender Description
The Mobile Network Hardening Program (the Program) will increase the resilience of Australia’s mobile network telecommunications infrastructure to help prevent, mitigate, and respond to outages during bushfires and other natural disasters. The Program is providing grants to upgrade the resilience of mobile telecommunications infrastructure in regional and remote Australia, and First Nations communities.
Up to $15 million (GST exclusive) is available for Round 2 of the Program. Potential projects may include delivering longer periods of backup power, emergency power solutions to facilitate rapid restoration of services, expanding protection zones around telecommunications sites, providing redundant Backhaul, or other physical hardening measures.
Round 2 of the Program is funded by the Government’s Better Connectivity Plan for Regional and Rural Australia.

An MNIP is a company, other than an MNO, that provides communications infrastructure in Australia or overseas, including the installation and operation of infrastructure to be used by one or more MNOs to provide public mobile telecommunications services.
An NMP is a company that is contracted by an MNO to assist with the management and maintenance of its network.
