NBN Co teams up with RMIT University to advance broadband innovation in support of Australia’s digital future
“NBN Co and RMIT are close collaborative partners, and we’ve achieved some great research outcomes so far.
“Through this exciting new ASTRID agreement, we expect to take things to a whole new level.
“Our focus will be the development of innovative technological advancement, with a common aim of advancing broadband technologies for households, businesses and communities across Australia.
“The Digital Twin will be a powerful tool for modelling the nbn network and our services over the next decade and beyond, using large, real-world datasets for all our access technologies in different locations.
“It will better enable us to verify forward forecasts on the physical network, cost design and lifecycle decisions.
“This is crucially important for NBN Co as we continue to optimise and maximise the performance and resilience of the nbn network to mitigate against network congestion, planned and unplanned outages and extreme weather events.
“The Digital Twin will also help build advanced knowledge of service outages, devise predictive measures and tools for forecasting network availability and performance, predict trends and scenarios, which enable proactive network management, improve resilience of the network and support the delivery of improved customer experience.”
