In a nutshell, faster downloads and internet browsing, better in-building coverage, and expansion of services in regional and remote locations.
Allocation of the new 700 MHz band is one of the key solutions towards meeting the mobile data explosion. This band was previously used by analogue TV broadcasts, but has now been re-allocated to deal with our ever expanding need for mobile services and data.
After spending up big to access this newly available bandwidth – $100 million by Telstra “4GX” and $650 million by Optus “4G in more places” – and with most licences coming into effect 31 December 2014, there has been a massive rollout by these operators. January 2015 saw Telstra expanding to over 1000 sites with Optus looking at an increase of over 270 sites.
But currently only a small fraction of devices on sale in Australia support the new 700Mhz frequencies and it’s a happy new year for those owning the iPhone 6 + 6 plus, HTC One (M8), Sony Xperia Z3 and Samsung Galaxy S5.
Check below for a summary of new sites from your provider where you can expect quicker and more reliable services:
