There has been much discussion about the various technologies used to provide broadband access in Australia; FTTN, FTTP, FTTdp, HFC etc. However, there has not been much discussion about solving the practical problems in providing these services to end-users.

Teletech Pty Ltd is a company that designs and manufactures test equipment for copper access networks and Malcolm Basell's presentation will focus on challenges in rolling out FTTN and FTTdp (also known as nbn's FTTC).

Malcolm will provide a comparison with how countries in Europe are providing broadband services over fibre and copper. He will also discuss how government and telecommunications infrastructure providers can use and assist test equipment suppliers to provide the right equipment to ensure the infrastructure is rolled out correctly and maximise service performance outcomes for end-users.

Members and guests are able to join this event in person at RMIT or online; details as below.
