Mobile Black Spot Program

Optus Commitment to Regional Australia

Optus is committed to providing mobile coverage, competition, and choice to regional Australia. We believe that real investment in regional and remote telecommunications services is the only sustainable way to improve competition, strength, and breadth of coverage in regional Australia.

Our participation in the Mobile Black Spot Program and the Peri-Urban Mobile Program reaffirms Optus’ dedication to network investment in metropolitan, regional, holiday and remote locations across Australia. The Program builds on our existing and significant network expansion programs in regional Australia. Our network underpins everything we do, so that our customers can have access to reliable mobile coverage and high-quality internet.

About The Mobile Black Spot Program

The Mobile Black Spot Program (MBSP) is a Commonwealth Government initiative to improve and extend mobile phone coverage in regional and remote Australia. Under the MBSP program to date (Rounds 2 to 5A), In partnership with Commonwealth Government Optus has committed to deliver 245 base stations.

For more information view the Mobile Black Spot Program.

About The Peri-Urban Mobile Program

As of March 2023, Optus has been awarded funding under Round 1 of PUMP (Peri-Urban Mobile Program) to deliver 22 sites and continually improve mobile coverage for the Australian community.

PUMP is a grants program that provides funding to improve mobile connectivity in bushfire priority areas along the edges of Australia's major cities. The program targets long standing mobile coverage and reception issues in the peri-urban fringes of Australia's major cities. Peri-urban fringe is where the bush meets the edges of the suburbs, creating natural disaster risks for those living and working in those areas.

PUMP complements MBSP in providing grant funding to mobile network operators and infrastructure providers to deploy new mobile phone infrastructure to address mobile reception and coverage issues in peri-urban areas.

For more information, view the PUMP program.

For more information about the Optus mobile network, please see our coverage maps.

Mobile Network Hardening Program

Optus, in partnership with the Australian Government, is proud to support the Mobile Network Hardening Program (MNHP) initiative.

As part of Round 1, Stage 1, Optus enhanced network resilience by upgrading battery backup systems to provide 12 hours or more of power at 60 mobile base stations built under Round 2 of the Mobile Black Spot Program.

In Round 1, Stage 2, Optus has enhanced and extended resilience measures across 295 mobile base stations nationwide through:

Deployment of permanent generators to supply backup power during outages;
Installation of battery extension devices to enhance existing backup capabilities at critical sites;
Improvements to transmission resilience within regional clusters to reduce single points of failure;
Physical hardening of sites to mitigate bushfire damage.

Mobile Network Hardening Program – Round 3

Building on the success of Round 1, Optus continues to strengthen network resilience in collaboration with the Australian Government under Round 3 of the MNHP. This phase will introduce enhanced measures at 162 mobile base stations across Australia, including:

Deployment of permanent generators to supply backup power during outages;
Installation of battery extension devices to enhance existing backup capabilities at critical sites;
Improvements to transmission resilience within regional clusters to reduce single points of failure;
Physical hardening of sites to mitigate bushfire damage.

To learn more about the Mobile Network Hardening Program, please visit MNHP Program Information.
