<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>In January 2025, Optus and TPG Telecom (TPG) launched their Multi-Operator Core Network</SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN>(MOCN). As a result, Optus will use certain TPG spectrum (700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 3600 MHz and 3700 MHz bands) in regional areas to supply mobile services, and provide TPG with access to its network in those areas</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN /><SPAN>Access to a greater quantity of spectrum enables Optus to provide additional capacity and coverage in regional areas</SPAN><SPAN>, while</SPAN><SPAN> TPG gains an expanded regional coverage footprint.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>A mobile site hosts radio equipment that uses radiofrequency spectrum to provide connectivity to mobile devices. With the use of backhaul, end users are connected to their network provider’s core network for voice and data connectivity. A mobile site exists in various forms including on a mobile tower, on top of commercial or residential buildings and light poles as well as inside buildings, collectively referred to as passive infrastructure. Passive infrastructure may be owned and operated by a</SPAN><SPAN> Mobile Network Operator (</SPAN><SPAN>MNO</SPAN><SPAN>)</SPAN><SPAN> or a third party such as a specialist infrastructure provider.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>An MNO may deploy their equipment on the same passive infrastructure as another MNO(s). This is known as co-location, which is a form of passive infrastructure sharing (see section 3.7). Co-location is one way to reduce the cost of site deployment. This enhances the ability of MNOs to invest in additional mobile infrastructure to improve their coverage, thereby promoting competition in downstream markets. Due to the use of co-location, the total number of mobile towers/structures in Australia is not equal to sum of the mobile sites for each MNO.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The data used for this layer have been sourced from the </SPAN><A href="https://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/Mobile%20Infrastructure%20Report%202025.pdf" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>ACCC Mobile Infrastructure Report 2025</SPAN></A><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>The </SPAN><SPAN>original </SPAN><SPAN>datasets are available at data.gov.au at the following address: </SPAN><A href="https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/accc-mobile-infrastructure-report-data-release" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>ACCC Mobile Infrastructure Report – data release</SPAN></SPAN></A></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
