Peri-Urban Mobile Program (PUMP) - Round 2

The Peri-Urban Mobile Program (PUMP) is a grants program that provides funding to improve mobile connectivity in bushfire priority areas along the edges of Australia's major cities.\r\nPUMP complements the Mobile Black Spot Program, providing grant funding to mobile network operators and infrastructure providers to deploy new mobile phone infrastructure to address mobile reception and coverage issues in peri-urban areas.\r\n\r\nThe program targets long standing mobile coverage and reception issues in the peri-urban fringes of Australia's major cities, including on the underserved fringes of large regional cities like Geelong, the Gold Coast, and Newcastle.\r\n\r\nThe peri-urban fringe is where the bush meets the edges of the suburbs, creating natural disaster risks for those living and working in those areas. These areas have been underserved because of their high cost, difficult terrain and lower population densities.\r\n\r\nFor more information on PUMP go to https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/pump

城郊移动项目（Peri-Urban Mobile Program，缩写PUMP）是一项拨款类项目，旨在为澳大利亚各大城市边缘的林火重点区域提升移动网络连接质量提供资金支持。
该项目作为移动信号盲区项目（Mobile Black Spot Program）的补充，为移动网络运营商与基础设施提供商提供专项拨款，用于部署全新移动电话基础设施，以解决城郊区域的移动信号接收与覆盖难题。

本项目聚焦澳大利亚各大城市城郊边缘长期存在的移动信号覆盖与接收问题，涵盖吉朗（Geelong）、黄金海岸（Gold Coast）与纽卡斯尔（Newcastle）等大型区域城市的信号覆盖不足区域。

城郊边缘地带即灌木林区与市郊接壤的区域，在此生活与工作的人群面临着各类自然灾害风险。由于建设成本高昂、地形复杂且人口密度较低，此类区域的移动信号服务长期处于供给不足的状态。
