Optus switches on new phone tower in Highfields to improve 4G network

Mobile phone reception coverage is set to receive a boost in this Toowoomba suburb, with a new phone tower up and running.

Residents of Highfields will enjoy greater mobile phone reception with Optus switching on a new 4G tower.

Optus territory general manager for Southern Queensland, Nick Channell said the new site at Highfields Village Shopping Centre built on Optus’ investment in the Toowoomba region, bringing to life a project years in the making.

“Our coverage in the Highfields region continues to go from strength to strength and we are thrilled to be going above and beyond when it comes to increasing Optus’ network coverage footprint outside metropolitan areas,” Mr Channell said.

A new mobile phone tower has been switched on at Highfields Village Shopping Centre.

“Mobility opens up opportunities for individuals and businesses, so we understand the importance for customers to have strong mobile coverage where they are working, living and travelling. This new site will play a key role in helping to facilitate this across the Toowoomba region.

“Optus is excited to bring choice to the residents of Highfields with an additional mobile tower for the community. The new mobile tower is another example of Optus’ continued commitment and investment to a more connected regional Australia.”
