- Optus and Aussie Broadband have signed a Heads of Agreement to extend the current five-year wholesale mobile partnership for an additional five years.
- The partnership provides Aussie Broadband customers with full access to Optus mobile network, premium 5G, and Fixed Wireless Access services.
Aussie Broadband (ASX: ABB), have today announced a strategic and significant extension to the current wholesale mobile contract that exists with Optus, one of Australias leading mobile network operators. The two telecommunication providers have signed a Heads of Agreement to extend the current five-year partnership for an additional five years.
The partnership provides Aussie Broadband the opportunity to offer Optus wholesale network experience, which includes full access to Optus mobile network, premium 5G, Fixed Wireless Access, and mobile back-up services to all of its consumer, enterprise and government customers.
The challenger ethos of both our brands is fundamentally why we are expanding this partnership," Aussie Broadband Group Chief Executive Officer Brian Maher said. "Optus was created to provide real choice to Australians, and Aussie Broadband exists to disrupt the industry on behalf of all Australians," he added.
"With this re-commitment we look forward to creating even more mobile choices for Australians, particularly in regional areas, and we know with Optus we can take on the big guys and deliver an exceptional mobile product on a great network. Optus's investment in their network and their recent MOCN has reset the playing field when it comes to coverage, and we want to help Australians capitalise on that opportunity with some great Aussie Broadband plans.
The partnership between Optus and Aussie Broadband is another great example of how Optus plays a unique role in the Australian wholesale market. We offer unrestricted access to the Optus mobile network through a broad suite of products and we focus on building long term partnerships, as were doing with Aussie Broadband, while also being committed to providing excellence in service through a dedicated delivery team, said Optus CEO, Stephen Rue.
As we continue to champion brands like Aussie Broadband by delivering more choice in the MVNO market, we are anchored by our commitment to deliver flexible products and network solutions that empower our partners customers with world class connectivity options.
The partnership is a critical step in the two organisations working more closely together to bring further mobile choice to the market and provides joint opportunities that include marketing collaboration for Aussie Broadband, Buddy and Optus.
