The National Broadband Network is a $43 Billion project to give 100x faster broadband nation-wide making Australia global leaders in this technology. This will be the biggest infrastructure project in Australian history giving businesses an advantage in the global marketplace. The broadband network has potential to not only help business across the country but will be used for improvement of different sectors including healthcare, education, energy, and environmental.

For business this is an exciting opportunity to be working on level playing fields between regional and metropolitan areas as well as between small and large firms. Business conducted online will increase as not only will it become safer but what can be conducted online will be so much greater. Business will have the opportunity to offer flexible working options, conduct online global meetings, and will have secure online business options.  

The National Broadband Network also supports major opportunities for the IT industry. Cloud Computing is set to grow with this instalment and IT providers will be able to do more to effectively support business. The NBN has the ability to support an extensive range of online applications and services spurring innovation while also reducing costs. Online productivity is set to amplify with the increased speed and reach of the network.

The Network will be a boost for the economy, employment and the nation’s future. Andor and our sister company Secure Online Systems welcomes the NBN initiative and looks forward to its implementation.
