Full-Scale Construction @ ‘Volume Roll-Out’
• Roll-out over approximately 9.5 years
• NBN expected to pass over 12 million premises
when rollout completed
• Almost 6,000 premises forecast to be passed per
day during peak rollout
• Projected direct construction workforce of 15,000 to
20,000 FTEs at the peak of construction
• Construction will occur concurrently in metropolitan,
regional, and rural areas
• It will be Australia's first national wholesale-only,
open access broadband network
• Network will be capable of providing peak speeds of
up to 1 Gigabyte per second to 93% of Australian
premises and 12 megabits per second to the
remaining 7% of premises, through a
satellite/wireless solution
NBN is different
• The NBN roll-out will involve multiple projects
of a like nature over a substantial period of
time
• There is significant scope to leverage
learnings and drive improvements as we go
• We have a unique opportunity to evolve /
define construction delivery characteristics
To put this into further perspective…

Mobile Wireless and Fixed Wireless
Mobile - variable number and type of devices
- variable cell boundaries
Fixed wireless - single type of device, fixed
number of connections
- 12Mbps cell boundary

Key Characteristics
• LTE technology will be used as part of the Fixed Wireless roll out.
LTE is often referred to as “4G”.
•Unlike 3G, LTE is designed purely for data (e.g. voice is handled
as data).

Fixed Wireless – Coverage to the Premise
Key Characteristics
• Signal send and received between
telecommunication facility and Fixed External antenna
installed on outside of premise. Routed via Ethernet
cable to an internal wall mounted indoor unit
