Attention Optus Fixed Wireless Customers

Optus is not allowing third party devices to access their Fixed Wireless network which uses the APN LTEBROADBAND.  Only Optus branded devices can access the LTEBROADBAND network.  Unfortunately this means you cannot use a Telco T1 to access this closed network.  The Optus Mobile Data network, however, does allow third party devices, so the Telco T1 can be used on that network.  For details please see the Optus Critical Information Summary under Equipment Needs.
