They are part of 1,100 premises located outside metropolitan areas that are set to benefit from the NBN fixed-wireless service, according to a media release issued on Monday by NBN Co.
In these areas contract instructions for construction activity have been issued.
On average it takes around 12 months from the start of construction until residents and business owners can receive NBN services from phone and internet providers.
“For people in rural and regional areas, NBN will provide access to internet speeds and bandwidth that many in the big cities take for granted,” NBN Co spokesperson Darren Rudd said.
According to NBN Co "Fixed wireless technology can transmit data at broadband speeds using radio signals instead of cables. This technology uses fixed transmission towers or base stations to communicate ‘over the air’ with the NBN installed equipment within the home or business".
