Australia’s Optus Wholesale has added home wireless broadband to its product suite for MVNOs utilizing the Optus 4G network.

The Optus subsidiary is providing the service to give wholesale customers the ability to provide home wireless broadband as an alternative to fixed broadband, particularly in areas where the national broadband network (NBN) has not yet been deployed.

The company will provide a home wireless broadband kit with a Huawei wireless modem and SIM card included.

Optus Wholesale customer Exetel will be the first company to roll out the new product.

The company says the service will deliver speeds of 12Mbps down and 1Mbps up in metropolitan areas where there is 2300-MHz coverage, or 5Mbps down 1Mbps up where this coverage is not available.

Speeds will be capped to 256Mbps once the maximum data allowance included in the plan is reached.

“We work closely with our partners to deliver a service that will improve customer experience, and we’ve developed this following market demand for a more flexible solution,” Optus Wholesale VP of marketing John Castro said.

“Home Wireless Broadband is an alternative to fixed broadband, so our wholesale partners are now able to offer a solution for people living in areas where NBN has not yet been rolled out or for people that like a plug and play option for their home internet service.”

Optus Wholesale already provides fixed broadband services for wholesale customers. Parent company Optus is Australia’s second largest mobile operator, and is itself a wholly-owned Singtel subsidiary.
