Residents in a suburb in Sydney, Australia, are seeking answers from a major telecommunications company after it announced plans to install new transmitters or “small cell boxes” made by Chinese telecom Huawei outside their homes without approval.
The Australian Broadcasting Network (the ABC) reported that TPG is planning to place 35 Huawei-made transmitters throughout Sydney’s north-western suburb Ryde as it strives to build its own 4G mobile network and that experts said such a move may become more common as Australia transits to 5G.
