Will ipad work when Optus 3G network closes down?

I have a cellular ipad 4th generation model A1460 which has LTE Bands 1,3,5,13,25. Will it continue to work properly when the Optus 3G network closes down next year?

Cellular 3G and 4G/LTE are different cellular radio technologies. While your Cellular Provider may close-down its 3G network, your iPad can continue to use 4G/LTE networks. You may need to change the DataSIM installed in your iPad; contact your Cellular Provider for guidance.
