TPG Coverage Map: Mobile Network Coverage in Australia

Mobile site and coverage map data for Australia, sourced from information collected under the ACCC's Audit of Telecommunications Infrastructure Assets - Record Keeping Rules. The dataset is compiled from three national Mobile Network Operators: Singtel Optus, Telstra, and TPG Telecom. It was initially published on 29/03/2022 and last updated on 2026-05-19.

Use Cases

• Analyze mobile network coverage gaps based on geospatial coverage maps.
• Compare infrastructure density between operators based on mobile site data.
• Assess regional telecommunications access based on the aggregated national operator data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from three major national Mobile Network Operators (Optus, Telstra, TPG).
• Spatial reference systems are explicitly defined (WGS84/GDA94).
• Initial publication and data currency dates are provided (March 2022).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• The description notes possible mismatches between source data and the published spatial layer due to conversion.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
