The companies have deployed the first IPAA in Yeerongpilly , Brisbane . The solution helps ease site related challenges which accelerates the introduction of 5G services across the country .

By utilizing this solution , Optus can overcome many deployment challenges that can typically hinder the introduction of 5G .
