Information about the service

The Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna 4G device can be installed in your premises to help increase indoor coverage in Telstra Mobile Network coverage areas.

Our supply of the Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna 4G is subject to the terms set out in this Critical Information Summary and the general terms of Our Customer Terms that are applicable to you. These can be found at telstra.com.au/customer-terms

Requirements

For your Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna to work correctly, you must:

  • be in a Telstra Mobile Network coverage area and pass our qualification checks; and 
  • have a Telstra Mobile Network compatible mobile or mobile broadband device coupled with a suitable Telstra plan.

The Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna is not designed to work in areas without Telstra Mobile Network coverage. If you are in a location where you can make and receive calls, the Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna is not expected to improve the performance of that location, but it can extend that coverage to other indoor locations in the same premises with poor coverage.

We will only sell you a Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna when you meet the requirements of our service qualification checks. If you have passed our service qualification checks and later move the device to another property, and this site does not meet the service qualification checks, you won’t be entitled to a refund.

Minimum term

The minimum term is 24 months if you take up the Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna on a 24 month repayment option.

Installation

The Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna has two components which require separate power points, and the device is not waterproof so the device cannot be placed outdoors. The Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna comes with a Quick Start Guide which shows you how to set up and install it. You can choose to install the Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna yourself in which case, please follow the installation instructions contained in the Quick Start Guide.

Alternatively, you may choose to have Telstra professionally install the Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna for you for an additional fee. If you choose the professional installation option for your Telstra Mobile Smart Antenna, we’ll arrange an appointment with you for the technician to perform the installation.
