[edit] Description
The National Broadband Network (NBN) project is an Australian Government initiative which will deliver high speed broadband to all Australians. The NBN is a new, wholesale only, open access high speed broadband network.
The NBN will involve the laying of fibre optic cabling to at least 90 per cent of Australian homes, schools and businesses, capable of delivering speeds of 100 1000 megabits per second (Mbps), or up to 100 times faster than many people experience today. The remaining premises will be connected via a combination of next generation high speed wireless and satellite technologies delivering broadband speeds of 12 Mbps or more.
The Government has established a new company, NBN Co Ltd to design, build and operate the new National Broadband Network.
Will Consist of FTTH (Fibre To The Home), Satellite and 3/4G services
[edit] Coverage Maps
These maps[1] provide an indicative representation of the fibre and wireless components of the National Broadband Network. The information in these maps is based on initial detailed modeling work done by NBN Co which may be subject to change following more detailed planning and design work.
