Peri-Urban Mobile Program (PUMP) - Round 1

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）是一项拨款项目，以下简称PUMP，旨在为澳大利亚主要城市周边的丛林野火（bushfire）优先区域改善移动网络连接状况提供资金支持。
PUMP作为移动黑点项目（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拨款，用于部署全新的移动通信基础设施，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主要城市城郊边缘地带长期存在的移动信号覆盖与接收问题，涵盖吉朗、黄金海岸、纽卡斯尔等大型区域城市的信号覆盖不足边缘区域。
城郊边缘地带即丛林与郊区的接壤区域，在此生活与工作的人群面临着自然灾害风险。由于建设成本高昂、地形复杂且人口密度较低，此类区域的移动通信服务长期处于供给不足的状态。
