An estimated 24,000 homes and businesses across regional Australia are now eligible for a nbn fixed wireless network for the first time, broadband operator NBN Co announced.

The locations of the 24,000 premises have been selected based on their proximity to existing nbn fixed wireless towers. Priority was given to areas receptive to the nbn satellite footprint.

NBN Co says the nbn fixed wireless network upgrades now includes expanding access for around 120,000 homes and businesses by the end of the program.

The Australian Government and NBN Co allotted $480 million and $270 million respectively to make the upgrades possible.

"The nbn fixed wireless network is the digital backbone for many regional Australians. With more people living in regional areas, connectivity has never been more important and that is why we are not just responding to existing demand, but also planning for the future,” said NBN Co chief development officer for regional and remote Gavin Williams.

"We expect that by around the end of 2024, the upgrades we are making across the nbn fixed wireless network will enable around 750,000 homes and business to enjoy better broadband, which will allow more people to be online at the same to work, study, and stream with less buffering,” he said.

ENABLE HYBRID CLOUD & REDUCE NETWORK LATENCY WHITEPAPER

Hybrid cloud promises to bring together the best of both worlds enabling businesses to combine the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the cloud with the performance and control that you can get from your on-premise infrastructure.

Reducing WAN latency is one of the biggest issues with hybrid cloud performance. Taking advantage of compression and data deduplication can reduce your network latency.

Research firm, Markets and Markets, predicted that the hybrid cloud market size is expected to grow from US$38.27 billion in 2017 to US$97.64 billion by 2023.

Colocation facilities provide many of the benefits of having your servers in the cloud while still maintaining physical control of your systems.

Cloud adjacency provided by colocation facilities can enable you to leverage their low latency high bandwidth connections to the cloud as well as providing a solid connection back to your on-premises corporate network.

Download this white paper to find out what you need to know about enabling the hybrid cloud in your organisation.
