Internet of Things (IoT)

Real time connectivity solutions bringing new opportunities to regional and remote Australia. The business nbn™ Satellite Service is designed to enable  real time access for businesses that require data monitoring for remote infrastructure such as gas pipelines, or the agricultural industry where connectivity is required for data collection devices in remote locations.^  

Internet bandwidth to suit IoT

Bandwidth for the IoT wholesale product starts from as low as 10/10kbps† - this means customers only pay for the bandwidth they require.

High quality

Whilst it may be low speed, IoT data can be mission critical – with this in mind business nbn™ Satellite Service IoT provides both Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Peak Information Rate (PIR) wholesale bandwidth profiles.

High reliability 

A dependable network architecture that is designed to deliver an accessible network solution.^  

Key features are: 

Service providers can procure bandwidth from as low as 10/10kbps† to support low data applications up to 2/2Mbps† – which can be used to support video transmission.^ Furthermore, bandwidth is available as both CIR or PIR bandwidth profiles.

The CIR bandwidth has been designed to deliver high data performance over the satellite network. The CIR network performance targets offered by nbn to service providers are:

Network Performance Targets for CIR services
Frame Delay Variation Frame Delay Frame Loss
<25msec <370msec 0.04%

Note: 

  • Performance targets are averages over a period of 48 hours.
  • Frame Delay calculation factors include satellite delay, processing delay, frame delay variation and fibre link delays.
  • Frame Loss assumes the signal-to-noise ratio is above the desired minimum threshold value per link -budget and no loss on fibre link.

IoT is deployed with dual nbn-provided internet links, i.e. connects to two separate/different Points of Interconnection (POI), to improve network availability.

^An end customer’s experience using the business nbn™ Satellite Service, including speeds and other performance characteristics, depend on a range of factors, such as the latency limitations inherent in satellite communications, the particular product and product features that have been selected by the service provider, the configuration of the products and product features being delivered, the time of usage in relation to certain internet-based access products, and other factors outside of nbn’s control (like their equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, signal reception, or how their service provider designs its network). 
†nbn provides wholesale services to phone and internet providers. nbn™ wholesale speed tiers available to providers vary depending on the access technology in an end customer’s area. An end customer’s experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ broadband access network, depends on the nbn™ access network technology and configuration over which services are delivered to their premises, whether they are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside of nbn’s control (like their equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, signal reception, or how their provider designs its network).
