Business ICT is able to deliver high-speed and space between your business
The Australian Government built National Broadband Network will eventually replace most
of the telephone and internet connections in the country. This will affect most
homes and businesses with the following connections to be replaced, PSTN, ISDN and
Multiline telephone connections as well as ADSL type internet connections. Although
disconnection dates have slid, it is slated that the ISDN and Multiline type service
will no longer to be connected to new sites from January 1, 2018 and totally withdrawn
from the market and replaced by an IP NBN compatible type product by 2022.

The Australian network the NBN is replacing is predominately copper with an overlay of
fiber that is provided by a number of Carriers. The term “fibre to the Node” (FTTN) is
where the NBN run a fibre connection to a node (connection point) in your street and
then the existing copper cable to your premises. Depending on the quality and length of
this copper cable will determine it’s performance. It is a “Best Efforts” environment.
In some cases with business locations where a desired speed and performance is required,
several copper cables are bonded together. This generally tops out at 20MB/20MB.
Depending on where your premises is situated in the network will depend on what
technology either copper or fiber is available.

If your budget stretches and your location is serviceable by a fibre Internet
connection then this technology is most desirable. Speeds of 1 Gigabyte with
unlimited downloads are available.
A Microwave Internet connection is commissioned where premises are either not
serviceable by copper or fiber, or where these services are too costly to install. A
microwave dish (size of a dinner plate) is installed on your premises roof and pointed
to a receiving dish across the city. This type of connection is common and can carry
both voice and data.
The mobile 4G Internet connection is generally used as a temporary connection
whilst these other type (fiber, copper, NBN) are being installed or as a redundancy /
backup secondary connection if the primary connection goes down.
A satellite Internet connection is available for remote sites where no other
technology is available or when a redundancy connection is required across a different
technology
Where Internet connections are critical to the business, redundant links can be
installed via a number of the above technologies. Automatic failover switching can be
commissioned so there is no disruption to the workforce and notification can be
triggered to the IT Management.
