Average households in Optus' trial used 1 GB of broadband data on the Home Zone a month. Credit: Neerav Bhatt

The offering was marketed as a 'home phone' service and initially launched for post-paid Optus mobile customers. Credit: Neerav Bhatt

While the device is technically capable of supporting 12 simultaneous users, Optus recommends a maximum of four as each connection requires approximately 200kbps of bandwidth. Credit: Neerav Bhatt

Optus has agreed to use devices from Alcatel-Lucent's 9360 Small Cell portfolio, including the 9361 Home Cell, the 9366 Small Cell Gateway and its network management solution. Credit: Alcatel-Lucent
