More than 400 homes and businesses in Baradine are now eligible for nbn fixed wireless under the NSW Government’s Regional Digital Connectivity Program.

The New South Wales Government has contracted nbn to deliver fast, reliable nbn fixed wireless internet connectivity to homes and businesses in parts of regional NSW, including the Baradine area.

The infrastructure is now in place and ready for connection.

In Baradine today (Thursday 5 February) and tomorrow (Friday 6 February) residents and businesses are being invited to obligation-free information sessions to find out how to take advantage of the new technology now at their fingertips.

With works now completed by nbn’s delivery partner, Ventia, including the installation of new fibre backhaul to a co-located fixed wireless tower, Baradine can now receive better broadband.

An nbn fixed wireless service can enable access to a faster, more reliable nbn broadband service, delivering a range of benefits, including smoother, higher-resolution video calls, enhanced streaming, faster downloads, and the ability to connect more devices simultaneously.

With an nbn fixed wireless connection, the nbn broadband signal travels from the transmission tower using 4G technology and 5G mmWave technology to an antenna installed on your roof, helping to deliver more coverage, minimise congestion, and offer access to speeds of up to 250Mbps.

 “The nbn Fixed Wireless network is a critical part of our infrastructure, supporting regional Australian homes and businesses with faster speeds and more reliable connectivity than ever before, even during the busiest times," said Head of nbn Local NSW Tom O’Dea.

“Australians deserve access to fast, effective broadband, regardless of whether they live in a major city or a country town.

“I encourage the community to participate in the upcoming events to discover how this upgrade can impact them positively.”

An information stand will be set up at the Embassy Cafe in Wellington Street, Baradine from 11am to 2pm.

If you miss today's session, the nbn crew will be back later in the month.
