­Australia's Optus has selected Nokia Siemens Networks to carry out a modernization of the mobile network, refarming the 900MHz GSM frequency band, and providing infrastructure and services for LTE rollout in Sydney and Perth.

In addition, as part of this agreement, Nokia Siemens Networks is the sole LTE core provider for Optus.

Optus' LTE, GSM and 3G networks will be monitored, managed and optimized by Nokia Siemens Networks' unified network management system, NetAct.
