The Regional Connectivity Program (the RCP) is an Australian Commonwealth Government grants program funding the delivery of ‘place-based’ telecommunications infrastructure projects that aim to improve digital connectivity across regional, rural, and remote Australia. Field Solutions has been awarded funding under RCP1 to deliver 16 networks across Regional Australia.
Significant progress has been made across site acquisition, with sites under build and being integrated in Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia and Victoria. The teams continue to face build challenges due to the wild weather and excessive heat. The impacts of rain can lead to weeks of delays in building activities, with water pooling a real issue. We will continue to update our website with details on timing.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop us an email at govprograms@fieldsolutions-group.com, and one of the gang will get back to you.

The Mobile Phone Base Station Deployment Industry Code is designed to:
- allow the community and councils to have greater participation in decisions made by Carriers when deploying mobile phone base stations; and
- provide greater transparency to local community and councils when a Carrier is planning, selecting sites for, installing and operating Mobile Phone Radiocommunications Infrastructure.
For further information on the Mobile Phone Base Station Deployment Industry Code, please click on the following link:
Communications Alliance – C564:2020 Mobile Phone Base Station Deployment (commsalliance.com.au)
As part of complying with the Mobile Phone Base Station Deployment Code, Field Solutions Group is also required to provide detailed information about any proposed Mobile Phone Radiocommunications Infrastructure via the Radiofrequency National Site Archive (RFNSA) website. Please follow the link below and enter the RFNSA Site ID number provided in the site lists above/below for detailed information.
