"It's all about helping people stay in touch, share their experiences and latest catch via social media and also add the attraction of enjoying a lengthy stay at the dam."
Telstra Air Head of Partnerships, Cade Herringe, says the partnership with Inverell Shire forms part of Telstra's plan to bring world-class connectivity to the places people live and work through the expansion of the Telstra Air Wi-Fi network.
"This project is another example of Telstra co-investing with government to bring fast and reliable Wi-Fi to public spaces across the nation, and deliver innovative programs and services via the Telstra Air network."
Visitors will have Wi-Fi coverage across the main recreational areas of the dam, including the kiosk, picnic areas, playground, splash-park and communal hall.
"Wi-Fi access points have been installed across the park, which will cover all the areas of the dam foreshores that were redeveloped under the $5.7 million park upgrade."
"Users of any public Wi-Fi network need to ensure they are staying cyber-safe when utilising the common access point. This includes avoiding any sensitive transactions like banking, maintaining anti-virus protection, installing a trusted virus protection app, keeping software updated and having strong passwords."
