Australia’s nbn announced an upgrade to its fixed wireless service, which aims to reach half a million homes and business in rural areas of the country.
nbn said its fixed wireless service can provide access to wholesale speeds of up to 50 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload. It is currently available in hundreds of communities across the country.
“Following the launch of Sky Muster, nbn’s first satellite, this milestone is yet another critical part of our plan to help bridge the nation’s digital divide. We’re closer than ever before to being on a level playing field between the city and the bush by providing kids in rural areas with access to digital textbooks, farmers with the latest technology and creating a world of new possibilities for regional small businesses,” stated Gavin Williams, Executive General Manager, Fixed Wireless and Satellite Product.
