Telstra Ups Ante With 4G Coverage

• Across all capitals
• No mention of country Australia
• Will take 10 months to roll out

Telstra will more than double its 4G coverage area in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth extending the reach of Australia’s only national 4G service to two-thirds of the population. This is just as Optus rolls out its marketing plan to launch its own 4G service.

The investment will see mobile coverage spread across all capital cities over the next 10 months – with the first new 4G sites launching today in Bondi and in the North Shore rail tunnel in Sydney.

Telstra currently offers 4G coverage in more than 100 metropolitan and regional locations across the nation including all capital CBDs. The network expansion will see more than 1,000 new 4G/LTE base stations installed by mid 2013. When all new sites are live, Telstra’s 4G service will reach approximately 66 per cent of the Australian population – up from 40 per cent today.
