The National Broadband Network (NBN) Corporation has awarded a new contract to upgrade the remaining Fibre to the Node (FTTN) network nationally, which includes the installation of additional fibre infrastructure to about 175,000 premises.
Ventia’s subsidiary Visionstream Australia has been awarded the contract valued at around $800 million, which will see them support the transition from FTTN to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology for households across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania.
