Optus today announced that it has activated its first 4G sites for customers in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast and in the Brisbane CBD – bringing 4G speeds for consumers and businesses during the busy holiday season.
Optus has enabled 4G services at four sites in Surfers Paradise, in readiness for the growing number of holidaymakers travelling with new 4G tablet and handset devices.
Customers will be able to benefit from quicker speeds on the Optus 4G network when sharing photos and videos with their friends and family, or posting updates to social media. Optus will also switch on additional 4G sites at Surfers Paradise in December.
In Brisbane, Optus will switch on five additional 4G sites from next week in selected areas of the CBD, ahead of a wider 4G rollout to the city in December and January 2013.
Günther Ottendorfer, Managing Director of Networks at Optus said, “2012 has seen Optus undertake one of the largest ever network programmes for our customers, with the completion of large scale 3G network enhancements and the launch of 4G services in Newcastle, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne.”
“With the success of these initiatives, we have managed to accelerate network rollout to deliver Optus 4G to select areas of the Gold Coast and Brisbane nearly six months ahead of schedule, with more sites to come online before the end of the year.”
“For customers using our 3G services, they will be pleased to know that Optus will continue to deliver stronger 3G performance, with further upgrades and new sites planned across south-east Queensland over the next 12 months.”
“Today demonstrates Optus’ commitment to being a leader in 4G and we look forward to bringing expanded 4G services to our customers across our national mobile network,” Mr Ottendorfer said.
