The Regional Roads Australia Mobile Program (RRAMP) is a government initiative to improve multi-carrier mobile coverage on highways and major roads in regional and remote Australia.
Funding for the RRAMP is part of the Government's $1.1 billion Better Connectivity Plan for Regional and Rural Australia. For more information on the Better Connectivity Plan visit infrastructure.gov.au/bcp.
National Program
The National RRAMP will provide grant funding for projects which boost multi-carrier mobile coverage on highways and major roads in regional and remote Australia.
The Australian Government consulted with industry and stakeholders on the design features of the National RRAMP between March and June 2025. A Consultation Paper and submissions is available on the Consultation on design features of the National Regional Roads Australia Mobile Program webpage.
Pilot Programs
The Australian Government is providing $50 million nationally to state and territory governments to deliver pilot programs to test innovative and novel solutions which increase mobile telecommunications coverage in their jurisdiction. The pilot programs also allow each state and territory to tailor solutions that meet their own needs and priorities.
The pilot programs are testing new ways of:
- approaching the market to deliver solutions;
- identifying roads based on data, need and local priorities; and
- encouraging the market to identify new technology, power, backhaul and connectivity solutions.
The government's contribution to each Pilot Program is:
- $10 million to New South Wales
- $8 million to Victoria
- $8 million to Western Australia
- $5 million to South Australia
- $5 million to Tasmania
- $6 million to Northern Territory
- $8 million to Queensland.
Once delivered, the pilot programs will improve safety on our roads, strengthen economic growth, improve social connectivity and support regional development.
