Optus 4G Coverage Map for New South Wales, 2024

Optus 4G Coverage 2024 is a geospatial dataset mapping predicted outdoor mobile coverage for TPG Telecom's 4G network across New South Wales. The data was sourced from the 2024 ACCC Mobile Infrastructure Report and converted from KML format. It was published by Spatial Services (DCS) on data.gov.au in March 2025.

Use Cases

• Mapping mobile network service availability based on predicted outdoor coverage
• Analyzing regional connectivity disparities based on aggregated frequency band data
• Supporting infrastructure planning decisions based on coverage data sourced from the ACCC

Strengths

• Data is sourced from an official regulatory report (ACCC Mobile Infrastructure Report)
• Spatial reference systems (WGS84, GDA2020, EPSG:3857) are explicitly documented
• Data currency is specified as January 31, 2024, providing a clear temporal snapshot

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
