All types of nbn™
broadband access network connections that utilise a physical
line running to the premises are considered Fixed Line
connections. An nbn™
Fibre to the Node (FTTN) connection is utilised where the
existing copper phone and internet network from a nearby
fibre node is used to make the final part of the connection
to the nbn™
access network.
The fibre node is likely to take the form of a street
cabinet. Each street cabinet will allow the nbn™ access
network signal to travel over a fibre optic line from the
exchange, to the cabinet, and connect with the existing
copper network to reach your premises.

nbn™
FTTC made easy
Fibre to the Curb is a new access technology that will form
part of the nbn™
broadband access network rollout to provide access to
broadband services to Australian homes and businesses.
An nbn™ FTTC
connection is used in circumstances where fibre is extended
close to your premises, connecting to a small Distribution
Point Unit (DPU), generally located inside a pit on the
street. From here, the existing copper network is connected
to the fibre to form the final nbn™
connection. To power your FTTC service with electricity and
provide your connection to the nbn™ broadband
access network, an FTTC nbn™
connection box will be required inside your home or
business. In some cases, you may be eligible to perform
self-installation of the nbn™
connection box.
FTTC is currently being rolled out. Check
your address to
see if the nbn™
FTTC network will be available in your area

FTTB made easy
All types of nbn™
broadband access network connections that utilise a physical
line running to the premises are considered Fixed Line
connections. An nbn™
Fibre to the Building (FTTB) connection is generally used
when we are connecting an apartment block or similar types
of buildings to the nbn™
access network. In this scenario we run a fibre optic line
to the fibre node in the building’s communications room, and
then we use the existing technology in the building to
connect to each apartment.
The fibre node is likely to take the form of a secure
cabinet in your building’s communications room. Each cabinet
will allow the nbn™
access network signal to travel over a fibre optic line, to
the existing network technology present in the building.

Sky Muster™ satellite service
The Sky Muster™ satellite service delivers the nbn™
network to homes and businesses in regional and remote
Australia, via two state-of-the-art satellites. So,
people across mainland Australia and Tasmania, and
remote islands such as Norfolk Island, Christmas Island,
Lord Howe Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands can now
enjoy nbn™
powered plans through Sky Muster™ satellite providers.
As well as the roof satellite dish installed on the home
or business, Sky Muster™ satellite connections also
require an nbn™
supplied modem to be installed at the point where the
cable from the satellite dish enters the premises. This
device requires power to operate and can only be
installed by an nbn™
approved installer.
When you contact your phone and internet provider to
connect to the nbn™
network, they should arrange for an nbn™
approved installer to call you and organise a visit to
your premises to connect you.
