“…However, their use depends on short-range connectivity and therefore is not well suited to rural areas where people and devices are typically some distance apart. Long-Range Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN) have been proposed as a solution to enable IoT devices to remain connected during critical situations in the urban context (Navarro-Ortiz et al, 2019), and as an alternative instant messaging system in rural environments (Cruz De La Cruz et al, 2021). Several companies are investigating the feasibility of establishing a direct link between smartphones and low-earth-orbit satellites, thereby providing connectivity in regions where access to Wi-Fi and mobile networks is not available (Sheetz, 2022).…”

Despite recent investments in telecommunications infrastructure in regional Australia, a digital divide remains between rural and urban communities. The impacts of comparatively limited digital connectivity in rural Australia include fewer opportunities for economic participation, difficulty accessing health and educational services, and challenges responding to crisis events such as natual disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an acute need for improved access to robust mobile and broadband services before, during and after crises in rural Australia. This article presents solutions for improved digital connectivity and digital capability in Far North Queensland, founded in a project that brought together researchers, business owners, councils, development organisations, technical experts and service providers to collaboratively identify and define telecommunications challenges related to a catastrophic flood in 2019. The research supports telecommunications providers, state and local governments, and community development organisations working together to collaboratively invest in technical and social solutions that enable rural communities to achieve greater crisis resilience.
