NETFLIX NEEDS BROADBAND

admin — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 00:45:52 +0000

There is a lot of debate in the media at the moment about the amount of bandwidth required to stream the new digital entertainment services such as Netflix, Stan and Presto.
One thing for sure is that high speed broadband of 15mbps – 25 mbps appears to be the only certain way to stream 4K movies and TV shows (ultra high definition) and to comfortably watch the lower definition videos.
In addition there needs to be extra capacity to allow other people to connect to the internet while you watch streaming TV.

Waterford Rise Residents Welcome Lightening Fast Internet Speeds Ahead of NBN Rollout

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 01:55:44 +0000

Residents in the Waterford Rise estate in Warragul have welcomed lightning-fast internet speeds some 10 years ahead of their neighbours as part of Australia’s high-speed internet rollout.

The Baw Baw Shire mayor Cr Murray Cook activated the new fibre-optic connection last week by a click of a button.

The estate has skipped the National Broadband Network rollout queue with installation by a private operation Redtrain Network, at no cost to the developer.

When planning the estate, the developers chose to have the fibre-optic connection installed by Redtrain, which offers lightening fast speeds to residents years before the NBN rollout.

“Importantly, Redtrain has “future-proofed” the connection so that no more civil work will be required because the network is designed to cater for up to a gigabit connection to each individual house premises,” says David Setiady director of Redtrain Network

“This means that that the connection is there to cater for any commercial enterprises or health or educational institutions in the Warragul region where Redtrain deploys its network, that may need access to such high levels of bandwidth in the future,” says Setiady.

“Importantly, it will also have significant benefits for Waterford Rise residents who work in Melbourne’s CBD, with the high speeds allowing them to work from home, or ‘tele-commute,’ a number of days a week,” says Glenn Sanford general manager of Baw Baw developments..

The estate will house around 3,000 people when it is completed.

High Speed Broadband Activated at Waterford Rise

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 01:55:08 +0000

Warragul’s first foray into new-age communications technology occurred with the “click of a mouse” last Wednesday when Baw Baw shire mayor Murray Cook made a live video cross to Member for McMillan Russell Broadbent at parliament house in Canberra.

The link-up activated the high-speed broadband network installed at the Waterford Rise residential development.

Residents of the estate will have access to internet speeds of 100 megabits per second and installer RedTrain Network said the network was designed to cater for up to one gigabit connections to each household.

Congratulating the estate developers Mr Broadbent said the technology was a great advantage in attracting people to live and work in the area. He said the two-way video connection that launched estate’s network was an example of the interaction people would frequently have in the future. Cr Cook described it as an “eyeopener” that would give residents the capability to work from home and possibly telecommute to their work places in Melbourne.

Waterford Rise broadband network by-passes the national telecommunications network via a switching centre (exchange) built by RedTrain on the western side of the estate that is connected to the nearby VicTrack fibre optic cable. That provides a direct connection to RedTrain’s facility in Melbourne.

RedTrain spokesman Michael Sparksman said it was the first wholesale only open access network in the region and put Waterford Rise 10 years ahead of likely availability of the national broadband network in the Warragul area.

He said four retail broadband service providers had already been attracted to offer internet services on the network. General manager of the estate’s developers, Baw Baw Developments, Glenn Sanford said the state of the art broadband connection provided residents with the benefit of faster web browsing and the ability to download large files and attach large images and videos to emails without having to use cloud-computing services.

Almost 200 residential blocks have been sold at Waterford Rise since it opened two years ago. The staged development will eventually provided about 1200 blocks and is expected to house up to 5000 people.
