Under Tasmanian Legislation for building occupancy, it is a requirement that some classes of building must have monitored Alarm Signaling Equipment (ASE) installed.
BACKGROUND
In October 2019 Telstra announced the decommissioning of the 3G Telstra network by June 2024. The current 2118 ASE's in service are 3G only and will cease to work once the network is shutdown. On the 6th of May 2024, Telstra advised the shutdown date would be extended to the 31st of August 2024, with a further announcement in August 2024, the new revised date for decommissioning will be 28 Octoboer 2024.
The TFS have issued a staged approach to upgrade the 2032 premises within Tasmania with a TFS monitored ASE to the new dual Sim 4G compatible device.
As at October 2024, the TFS can advise that all premises with a TFS monitored ASE installed have complied with TFS upgrade requirements.
The TFS would like to thank all Premise Owners and Fire Maintenance Contractors for their assistance with achieving the upgrade of over 2000 monitored premises in Tasmania, ensuring the TFS can respond in the most efficient and effective way to initiate firefighting operations and undertake life rescue if required.
