Australia is on the cusp of delivering mega fast 5G to businesses and homes with the first user trialling a Fixed Wireless connection powered by the new Optus 5G Max network.
The trialist, sports and entertainment business Oakleigh Indoor Sports & Inflatable World in Huntingdale Melbourne is seeing initial average download speeds of 2.5Gbps. With hundreds of visitors to the centre each weekend, the huge bandwidth and ultra-fast speeds of Optus 5G Max will provide ample capacity to help keep visitors connected as well as create the optimum environment for the centre to stream live content on screens across the facility in real-time.
Using a mmWave-capable modem and an antennae unit which is installed on the exterior of the premises, this Optus 5G Max powered internet is expected to deliver incredibly high speeds.
Optus plans to extend this trial to a limited number of participants over the coming weeks via a closed invitation.

What a milestone for Australia as this transformational technology begins to find its way into homes and businesses and deliver more connectivity options. It’s about connecting customers with technology that improves their lives and 5G Max does exactly that, providing the capacity required to have large numbers of devices all connected simultaneously without compromising speed and connectivity.
