Network Coverage

Welcome to the Optus Coverage Website for the latest news about the Optus wireless broadband and mobile network.

Optus is currently progressing a major expansion of its wireless broadband and mobile (2100MHz/900MHz) network. Since the launch of the expansion program, the size of the network has increased from 19,000 square kilometres to over 300,000 square kilometres and now covers 90% of the Australian population.

Upon completion of the network expansion in December 2009*, the Optus wireless broadband network will cover more than 1.2million square kilometres of landmass.

This expanded Optus wireless broadband and mobile network will soon be known as the ‘yes’G Network.

*Timings are indicative only and subject to change.

With any network based on radio technology, handset quality or local conditions may prevent or interfere with mobile reception within coverage areas - e.g., inside concrete buildings, lift wells, basements, tunnels and road cuttings. High rise buildings may also suffer degradation of service and these maps are not an indication of in-building coverage.
