Open Access

Open access, wholesale only network service is the fundamental charter of OPENetworks.  It is also the key strategy of the Australian Government’s NBN as it provides residential community developers with the maximum flexibility to provide a range of competitively priced and featured services to a community.

After the grant of its carrier licence in 2007, OPENetworks became the first registered telecommunications FTTP network carrier in Australia to service residential community developments. OPENetworks offers true open access on equivalent terms and conditions to all network access seekers (including carriers and carriage service providers). It does not compete with access seekers by providing its own retail services.

The community network solutions offered by OPENetworks are tailor made to meet a developer’s requirements and are scheduled according to the projects staging requirements.  In addition to offering the basic services of telephony, broadband, PayTV and Free-to-air TV, a tailored solution can be developed to provide for services such as Closed Circuit TV connections to community areas, Community WiFi, community portals and future health, entertainment, education and security services.

The community members connected to an OPENetwork managed network will over time have a rich choice of services.

Through the latest in first mile technologies fibre to the home and wireless communications OPENetworks and its partners will deliver the fastest broadband network up to 1Gbps for business and residential community members. This level of technology will benefit the community members, allow businesses and home users to run applications previously not thought of and allow the community to economically and socially grow.

OPENetworks partners with Fujitsu and developers to build and operate open access carrier neutral community networks which retail carriers and service providers will have equity of access to deliver a full range of retail services including, true broadband Internet services, voice services, Pay TV services, free to air television services, video on demand, community portal services and more.
