Optus is Australia's second-largest mobile network operator, providing wholesale infrastructure access to MVNOs through its Optus Wholesale division. MVNO resellers operating on the Optus network include Amaysim, Coles Mobile, Felix Mobile, Dodo Mobile, and others. These carriers access Optus's 4G and 5G network under commercial wholesale agreements, with Optus Wholesale's public capability statements confirming the underlying arrangement.
Optus's network strengths are concentrated in metropolitan and major urban areas. Its 5G rollout targets capital-city CBDs and inner suburbs across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Population 4G coverage is substantial, though rural and outback coverage is less extensive than Telstra's network. For users based in metropolitan or large regional centres, Optus-network MVNOs can deliver competitive data speeds and pricing compared with the incumbent network alternatives.
Network strengths
- Strong metropolitan 5G coverage in capital-city CBDs
- Competitive urban data speeds on 4G and 5G
- Broad population coverage in major coastal cities
