Which Access Technology Will You Receive?
There are a variety of different access technologies that can connect your premises to the nbn™ network. It's important to know which technology will be servicing your premises as each access technology requires a slightly different approach.
You can find a detailed explanation of what is required for each connection method by reading the nbn™ preparation guides. Below is a brief summary of the different connection methods:
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)
FTTP has Optic Fibre leading directly to your premises and is connected to the nbn™ box inside.
Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC)
HFC has Optic Fibre connecting to a node on your street, which leads to your premises via coaxial cable.
Fibre to the Node (FTTN)
FTTN has Optical Fibre leading to a nearby node and connects to the phone socket in your premises via existing copper lines.
Fibre to the Building (FTTB)
FTTB has Optical Fibre leading to a node in your building’s communications room. The nbn™ will connect from the node to the phone socket in your premises via the building’s existing copper network.
Fibre to the Curb (FTTC)
FTTC has Optical Fibre leading to a small node in the telecommunications pit or mounted to the pole outside your premises. From there, a copper telephone cable delivers the service to the wall socket inside your premises if you are in a single dwelling unit or to the customer side MDF if you are in a multiple dwelling unit.
Fixed Wireless
Fixed Wireless is connected via an antenna on your roof, which receives data signals from an nbn™ tower in your area. The data is transmitted wirelessly to an nbn™ connection box in your premises.
