In this episode, we have Genie Tan, the Chief Operations Officer of the Connectivity Innovation Network, a ground-breaking New South Wales Government initiative developed by the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer and NSW Telco Authority.

Genie talks about the challenges of achieving ubiquitous connectivity in Australia's vast landscape, the innovative use of existing mobile networks as environmental sensors, and the development of a secure multi-organisation data-sharing platform for emergency services.

She also discusses the importance of regional symposiums in understanding rural connectivity needs, the concept of the digital divide and its impact on communities, and a promising rapidly deployable large-area Wi-Fi system that could revolutionise emergency communications.

If you want to learn how cutting-edge connectivity solutions are shaping the future of technology and community safety in Australia, then make sure to listen to this episode!
