Gold Coast plans to open up expanded fibre network to telcos
Council sees financial benefits from $10 million investment in expanding its fibre network
The Gold Coast is planning to offer ISPs and backhaul providers access to its expanded fibre network in the hopes of reaping a financial reward for the Queensland city.
The City of the Gold Coast is funding a $10-million expansion of its fibre network, adding a 37-kilometre loop.
The council said that the new fibre loop will deliver financial benefits in excess of $2.5 million, both from cost savings as well as telco revenue.
Nexium will sell capacity on the expanded network to telcos and other businesses; the City said that “several companies” are already negotiating access.
The loop will cover Broadbeach, Burleigh, Varsity Lakes and Robina. The City is eyeing the potential further expansion of the network, hooking up the southern and northern parts of the Gold Coast.
The existing 65-kilometre fibre backbone, which runs from Helensvale to Broadbeach, was rolled out of the last 18 months, ahead of the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The initial rollout cost $4.5 million.
“We’re developing a low-latency, high-core-count fibre optic network that has the capacity to deliver the fastest internet speeds in Australia,” the Gold Coast’s chief innovation and economy officer, Ian Hatton, said in a statement.
“When finished, the network will be 100 times faster than what exists today,”
“The rollout of the network reinforces the City’s commitment to creating a strong digital economy that will benefit our residents, Xem Coin Future Price ,” Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said.
