Optus has announced it has activated its first 4G sites for customers on the Gold Coast and Brisbane CBD.

 

Optus has rolled out the 4G services across four sites in Surfers Paradise, in readiness for the growing number of holidaymakers in the area.

 

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.”
