Telco Optus has turned on its first six 5G millimetre Wave (mmWave) commercial sites in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, as the carrier clocks up one million 5G capable devices on its network.
The new mmWave sites include four Sydney-based locations: Kings Cross, Surry Hills, North Ryde and, naturally, Optus Sydney Campus; as well as Huntingdale in Melbourne and Strathpine in Brisbane, with more to come over the coming weeks.
Optus’ mmWave sites are equipped with 800Mhz spectrum bandwidth, tapping into the ‘golden Ghz’ acquired during last month’s 5G spectrum auction.
