Internode will deploy some AU$3.5 million of broadband infrastructure through rural South Australia in a new project responding to the needs of a regional group of local councils.
South Australian ISP Internode has set up a WiMax service to provide broadband access to the Yorke Peninsula region west of Adelaide, but not before its new infrastructure was almost built over.
State transport authorities across Australia will be eyeing a six-month $500,000 trial in South Australia, which will see one bus equipped with a raft of multimedia equipment and free wireless internet access.
The South Australian Government is planning to offer free internet on the state's public transport system to make it more appealing to use but it needs to find a vendor willing to install the technology first.
The South Australian government has gone to market for a telecommunications carrier to fill Adelaide's ADSL black spots until the $4.7 billion national fibre-to-the-node broadband network (NBN) gets underway.
It wasn't too long ago that critics of WiMax wireless technology were declaring it dead at the starting gate.
South Australia's Yorke Peninsula with just 11,780 people spread across 5,834 square kilometres, is known more for its rugged natural beauty than its technological prowess. But now that Internode has brought broadband to the entire peninsula, the area has become a very important part of Australia's telegeography.
Better known for its work in the preservation of rare species such as the Sumatran Tiger, the Adelaide Zoo can now stand along side some of the most powerful corporations in the world having implemented a wireless LAN, and Internet connectivity throughout its 8 hectare (aprox 20 acre) site.
Don't let having a mobile workforce break down your communications. In Australia, some organisations, through the use of wireless integration, have increased their lines of contact, and not just out in the field.
Yes, says iiNet, and the telco giant's price chains are keeping smaller players from venturing down the rural broadband route.
