NBN Co works in consultation with local councils to determine an

efficient and effective way to rollout the fixed wireless network.

A key consideration in these decisions is the design of the

network, which takes a number of factors into account including
population density, geography, radio frequency and other
network specific considerations.


Wherever possible NBN Co looks actively to use existing

infrastructure when planning the fixed wireless network before

proposing new strllctures.
