This recently erected tower is in Dannevirke. On Allardice Street by the intersection of High Street. When installation started there was much chatter about 5G and conspiracies on the local community pages.

Is anyone here able to tell me what this tower is to be used for? I suspect it may not be live yet but who am I to know? The street light has not been installed on it yet.

A colleague at work has condemned it and "has proof that several friends overseas got cancer from 5G" so I am not 100% certain I will be able to get through to them. But knowing exactly what this tower is will be very important in this quest.

Hi @wally22 this is one of our new Vodafone cell sites – we’re building a number of new cell sites around NZ to respond to the massive increases in data use. The Dannevirke site will be turned on in the next few weeks once the build is complete. More info here: https://news.vodafone.co.nz/regionalinvestment

You can find more details about the type of coverage and network available anywhere in NZ, check out our coverage map here: https://www.vodafone.co.nz/network/coverage/. If you need help convincing your colleague that 5G is nothing to worry about, here’s some info including links to independent sites such as the Ministry of Health… https://www.vodafone.co.nz/our-networks/5g-safe-technology/
