NBN deployment achieves annual goal

Mike Quigley, CEO for the NBN, explained that current success in FTTH deployment is a positive sign for the NBN moving forward.

"These results are pleasing because they demonstrate that the steps we put in place in March to accelerate the rollout have been successful," said Quigley. "They provide us with confidence that NBN is on track to deliver fast, reliable and affordable broadband to every family and business in Australia over the remaining eight years of this decade-long build. They also show that NBN, together with its industry partners, has the capacity to overcome the challenges inherent in rolling out Australia's largest national infrastructure project."

Dealing with FTTH challenges
Interoperability is one of the greatest challenges faced by organizations deploying FTTH infrastructure, and fiber to Ethernet media converters can help companies resolve those issues. Media converters provide a vital interconnectionbetween fiber systems and the copper Ethernet architectures that are installed in most homes and businesses. Because of this, media converters play a vital role in helping organizations deploy FTTH systems.

Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
