The dead spot in the A1 network in Adnet is to be repaired as quickly as possible. The event truck is now on its way from Vienna on Monday morning and will be set up at short notice. In a second step, a fixed antenna will be installed. 

No reception for all those who use the A1 network in Adnet. The outages have been causing annoyance among users for weeks. Countless complaints have been made to the municipality. The reason: the high-voltage pylon of the 220 kV line, on which the antennas were previously mounted, is giving way. The installation had to be dismantled. A location had already been found, but the landowner backed out at short notice. 

Timetable for emergency solution
The schedule for an emergency solution is now on the table, as the mobile phone operator announced on Friday. The event truck, which is normally used for events, will set off on Monday morning and head for Adnet. It will be set up in an open space next to the elementary school. "What's important to us now is that customers have a service again as quickly as possible," says a spokesperson. Full reception should be available again from Tuesday.

In a second step, an old, still existing antenna in the village could then be activated.
