The nbn transcontinental optical transport backbone (known as the 'Transit Network') spans over 60,000 kilometers of fiber and is built upon the Coriant^® hiT 7300 Multi-Haul Transport Platform. The 'Transit Network' allows nbn to connect the different nbn™ Multi Technology Mix access nodes to points where the traffic is transferred to service providers, known as Point of Interconnect (POI). The access nodes are the modern equivalent of a local telephone exchange and can be located many thousands of kilometers from their corresponding POI, of which there are 121.

About nbn
nbn is building a new and upgraded, fast wholesale broadband network to enable communities across Australia to access fast broadband from their retail service provider.

Fast broadband like that delivered via the nbn™ network can provide a range of benefits for Australians such as opportunities to work from home, access to online education tools and options for on-demand entertainment. End-user experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ network, depends on the technology over which services are delivered to your premises and some factors outside our control like equipment quality, software, broadband plans, signal reception and how the end-user's service provider designs its network. Access to your work network will depend on factors outside our control like your organisation's IT policy and infrastructure.
