Clock Ticking on Telstra’s 2G Network

If you use TNS’ Wireless POS Service

and connect into the TNS Payment

network via Telstra’s 2G (GSM) network

please verify with your payment terminal

supplier that your hardware is capable

of supporting the newer 3G and 4G/LTE

wireless data platforms. Telstra has

announced that it will close its 2G

network by the end of 2016.

Your TNS-supplied wireless SIMs are

already 3G and 4G/LTE compatible

which means you do not need to

change these components, however,

we encourage you to check whether

you need to change or replace your 2G

devices and, if so, confirm if this can be

done within the time remaining.

A letter was issued to all affected TNS

customers during July, which includes

more information about Telstra’s

decision and what steps to take.

National Broadband Network Update for TNSLink Customers

The rollout of Australia’s National

Broadband Network (NBN) continues

across the country and this technology

is gradually replacing the older telecoms

infrastructure which is being

decommissioned. If you are a TNSLink

wired broadband customer this may

mean TNS needs to change the type of

access services you receive. Your

interface to the TNSLink service will not

change.

A notification and set of frequently

asked questions were shared with

TNSLink customers during August. At

this stage no action is required on your

part and it is likely that only some areas

will be affected. A member of TNS’

operations team will reach out to you if

our existing access services cannot be

utilised and you need to be migrated

onto a new broadband service,

managed by TNS.
