nbn Fixed Wireless Connection 

An nbn Fixed Wireless connection utilises data transmitted over radio signals to connect a premises to the nbn network.

This connection is typically used in circumstances where the distance between premises can be many kilometres. Data travels from a transmission tower located as far as 14 kilometres, to an nbn outdoor antenna that has been fitted to the premises by an approved nbn installer.

Fixed Wireless connections also require an nbn connection box to be installed at the point where the cable from the nbn outdoor antenna enters your premises. This device requires power to operate and can only be installed by an nbn approved installer which MATE will organise on your customer’s behalf once they sign-up.
