The National Broadband Network (NBN) is Australia’s countrywide wholesale accessible data network. It consists of wired and wireless communication segments deployed and run by the government-owned company NBN Co. NBN uses copper cables, cable broadband, and optical fiber for high internet speeds in Australian households.

Infrastructure

  • Point of Interconnect

Points of interconnect allow networks run by individual retail service providers, or RSPs, to join with the primary NBN infrastructure. There are 121 POIs located inside Telstra-owned telephone exchanges throughout the nation. Data that reaches an exchange that does not have a POI is sent via the NBN transit network to the closest POI because not every exchange has POIs. Next, this NBN network is connected to the nearest NBN Point of Interconnect, which is subsequently connected to your RSP Network.

  • Network Termination Device

A network termination device (NTD) is a customer-side network interface gadget that offers clients several bridges through which they can connect to the NBN. For diverse technology, there are different kinds of NTDs. All connection forms—aside from FTTN—utilize NTDs on-site. NTDs usually offer two telephony and four data channels, depending on the type of link. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can keep the connection active during power outages; however, an external power source is necessary. Power must be supplied from the premises to the kerb, which serves as the distribution point for FTTC.

NBN Technologies

For both wired and wireless communication, the NBN network offers a variety of connection technologies. Points of connection are where RSPs link to these networks. The NBN “Multi-Technology Mix” (MTM) includes the below-mentioned network technologies:

  • NBN Fixed Line Connections

Fixed Line connections include all NBN access network connection types (FTTP, FTTB, HFC, FTTC, and FTTN) that use a physical line that runs to the premises. The only distinction between each connection is how we use the current network technology to link the closest fiber node to a particular location.

Fiber to the Premises (FTTP): The NBN signal travels via a fiber optic cable from the exchange, via the closest fiber node, and to a particularly configured network gadget in your home.

Fiber to the Node (FTTN): The NBN signal is transmitted by a fiber optic cable from the exchange to the closest node, and it then uses the present copper wiring to get to your place.

Fiber to the Building (FTTB): Usually, apartment blocks are connected using this choice. The fiber optic cable transmits the signal to the communications room of the building, and from there, the current network infrastructure sends it to each apartment. Comparable to FTTN, the “node” is situated within the communications room of the building. It is also referred to as “fiber to the basement.”

Fiber to the Curb (FTTC): An optical fiber connection is made to a node in the telecom pit outside the building along the curb. Copper connects the node and the building.

Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC): It uses a combination of CATV and fiber optic technologies primarily based on Telstra’s HFC network.

  • NBN Wireless Connections

If you reside in a remote or rural area with few neighbors, your NBN service can be provided by a Fixed Wireless connection or the Sky Muster service.

Fixed Wireless: It uses data sent over radio signals to connect a building to the NBN network. A permanent antenna on the top of each premise receives the wireless signal from an NBN wireless tower.

Sky Muster™ Satellite Service: transmits the NBN signal, which your roof’s satellite dish receives. You must have a network device installed by an authorized installation or service provider at the location where the dish’s cable enters your house.

Coverage

Some of the NBN’s “brownfield” areas were serviced straight by NBN Co., but several others were brand-new “greenfield” developments without any prior service. Fiber connections must be provided for greenfield developments at the developer’s expense. Many brownfield locations are situated close to active exchanges, which likely had ADSL at one time.

NBN Providers

Internet service providers often denoted as retail service providers or RSPs within NBN, have agreements with NBN to utilize the data network and offer end users fixed Internet access.

Over 100 Australian NBN providers are currently listed, and the number is increasing. There are certainly a lot of tremendous players, but there are also a lot of smaller providers eager to compete for your cash. The top 10 most popular providers include; SpinTel, Optus, Telstra, TPG, Dodo, Aussie Broadband, Superloop, Tangerine, My Republic, and Exetel.

Regardless of where the service is supplied, pricing to RSPs is consistent within each technology and across all technologies for the standard package. The cross-subsidization of isolated and rural areas with the more affordable metropolitan regions enables the provision of this uniform price. Retail prices, however, may differ amongst RSPs due to variable RSP costs. In February 2017, there were more than 50 retail service providers, three of whom—Telstra, Optus, and TPG—shared 83% of the market.
