Optus Wholesale Launches National NBN Layer 3 Platform
The API-first platform gives retail providers access to NBN speed tiers from nbn 25 to nbn 1000 across Australia.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Telecommunications
Optus Wholesale has launched an API-first Layer 3 NBN platform nationally across 121 NBN points of interconnect, with telco challenger brand Yomojo signed as a first partner. Partners can integrate directly through APIs or manage services through the MyWholesale Portal.
Why it matters
The platform lets external providers deploy on an established operational platform from day one rather than building their own wholesale infrastructure. For Australian consumers, it expands the number of retail brands able to offer NBN services.
The platform supports speed tiers from nbn 25 to nbn 1000 and uses automated ordering and assurance capabilities. Yomojo's 50,000-service target over 36 months is a stated ambition, and the source does not report progress against it.
The players
Optus Wholesale
The wholesale arm of Optus, the Australian telecommunications provider, which operates the NBN platform offered to external retail partners.
Yomojo
A telco challenger brand that signed as one of the first partners on the Optus Wholesale Layer 3 NBN platform.
Amaysim
An Australian mobile and broadband provider whose Layer 3 NBN services already run on the Optus Wholesale platform.
The details
Partners integrate through APIs or manage services via the MyWholesale Portal, and customers can migrate from Optus Wholesale NBN to Optus Fibre or NBN Enterprise Ethernet without changing wholesale providers. The platform already underpins Amaysim's Layer 3 NBN services.
Timeline
3 November 2026: Optus Wholesale announces the national launch of its Layer 3 NBN platform.
Over the next 36 months: Yomojo targets 50,000 services on the platform.
The Tech Race
The launch fits within the NBN wholesale access model, in which retail brands rely on wholesale providers for network connectivity. Optus Wholesale is positioning its platform as the operational base for challenger brands competing against established retail telcos.
Customers of partner brands such as Yomojo may see new NBN plan options as those providers launch services on the platform. Existing customers of Amaysim's Layer 3 services are unaffected by this launch, and migration to Optus Fibre or NBN Enterprise Ethernet can happen without changing wholesale providers.
The takeaway
Providers considering NBN retail services can compare wholesale platforms on speed tiers, integration methods and migration paths before committing to a provider.
