Many telecommunications providers around the globe have completed or are planning works to permanently cease 3G cellular services as more efficient 4G and 5G networks are expanded.

This has recently happened in Australia and is happening in New Zealand and elsewhere as of 2026.

A common misconception is that this only effects old mobile phones but many IoT devices that connect medical alarms, security systems, automotive technology, vending machines, ATMs, power meters and other critical services may stop working as a result.

There are several ways to keep your old legacy IoT device or service running and the best option will depend on how your existing 3G connection has been provided.

Following a review of your current system, we may be able to provide:

• A modification to your equipment to enable 4G support
• An additional module or plug-in component to add 4G support
• A 4G capable replacement for your current legacy device

Alternative and future-proof ways to keep you online can utilise 4G/5G or Narrowband NB-IoT cellular connections, Bluetooth, Wifi or Satellite based connection methods, based on your specific requirements and budget.
