Outline

The NBN will provide high speed broadband using Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Cable, Wireless and Satellite Broadband technologies. This one day course, suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences, outlines NBN technologies, NBN policy issues and the business model.

In particular, the course considers NBN implications arising from the 2013 change of Government.

The course begins with an overview of NBN objectives and anticipated data rates. NBN technology components are then outlined, focusing on FTTP and FTTN and their underlying technologies (both current and future). The NBN architecture is then described, as well as the interfaces between carriers/service providers and the NBN. The NBN wholesale service model is then outlined, along with a review of the NBN rollout.

NBN Wireless and Satellite Broadband services are then reviewed, focusing on the architecture and expected performance. The course concludes by examining the NBN consumer and business services, voice services, regulatory issues (including the ACCC role) and the NBN pricing model.
