A Tricky Upgrade: Installing a 4G Antenna on the Stunning South Coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula

On the picturesque South Coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, the Jims Antennas & Security team faced a rewarding but challenging task. The goal? Replacing an aging 3G Yagi antenna with a modern 4G/5G Yagi antenna mounted on a towering 9-meter mast at Deep Creek.

The Challenge

This upgrade wasn’t just a simple swap. The mast was stabilized by three sets of guide wires, each needing careful adjustment to lower the mast safely. Technicians David and Dan worked meticulously to:

  • Release the guide wires: Ensuring the mast could be lowered without damage or risk to the structure.
  • Replace the antenna: Removing the outdated 3G Yagi and securely installing the advanced 4G/5G Yagi antenna.
  • Erect and stabilize the mast: Re-raising the mast and retensioning the guide wires for optimal support and safety.

Their expertise and precision were crucial, given the height of the mast and the tricky conditions of the rooftop installation


Why the Upgrade Was Necessary?

As of October 28, 2024, Telstra has ceased transmitting 3G signals across Australia. While some areas may still transition, relying on a 3G Yagi antenna is no longer viable. Devices and antennas that aren’t upgraded to 4G/5G compatibility will no longer receive mobile signals, leading to potential disruptions in communication.

Who Benefits from a 4G/5G Yagi Antenna?

Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or operator of a commercial property, having a reliable mobile signal is essential. A 4G/5G Yagi antenna ensures:

  • Stronger, more stable connections: Essential for streaming, calls, and browsing.
  • Future-proof technology: Staying ahead of technological shifts as networks evolve.
  • Wide coverage areas: Particularly valuable in rural or remote locations like the Fleurieu Peninsula.
