The Telstra CEO announced on Monday at Beef Australia the company’s call centres will be moved back to Australia and $200 million will be spent on improving regional mobile coverage.
CEO Andy Penn and networks executive Channa Seneviratne spoke at the Telstra 5G Robotic Arm suite at the expo.
The 5G robotic arm, Rocky, is a whip cracking robot which demonstrates the precision in 5G technology, in partnership with Brisbane company Freelance Robotics.
Participants can have a go at cracking the whip and see the video analytics from the latest technology on display.
“This is quite a cool demonstration, it’s a bit of a fun,” Mr Penn said.
