Geospatial Resources for Australian Broadband Gurantee Applicants
Some 80% of Australia's broadband take-up is via ADSL. Not surprisingly, the key to understanding broadband under-served is a knowledge of ADSL under-served.
The following layers were created to assist clents submitting to the DCITA Broadband Connect Infrastructure Program (BCIP, 18 December 2006), and have been updated for Australian Broadband Guarantee applicants. These layers are based on Callpoint's methodology created for the DCITA Metropolitan Broadband Blackspot geospatial consultancy, suitably updated for the Australian Broadband Guarantee .
Callpoint can freshly create these layers to take account of current ADSL infrastructure status. These updates are especially useful for instance to regional wireless players.
ADSL Under-Served Regions (GIS Layer)
Below is an extract of the layer shipped to clients that submitted to the BCIP. The layer creation process was performed using Callpoint's GeoCarrier® software application.
Legend:
Dark grey cross-hatch - no exchanges within Exchange Service Area (ESA)
Light grey diagonal cross-hatch - no ADSL enabled exchange within ESA as of BCIP program date
Solid dark grey - ESA has an ADSL enabled exchange, but distance is beyond notional ADSL coverage limits
Red cross-hatch - Large Pair Gain Systems that were not ADSL-enabled as of BCIP program date
Note: Callpoint provides the above as a single and/ or multiple layer combinations for ready use within a client's intended application.
ADSL Under-Served Premises (GIS Layer)
Callpoint's ADSL Under-Served Premises layer is a natual companion to the above Under-Served Regions layer. By understanding where under-served premises, Australian Broadband Gaurantee applicants can more sharply refine their infrastructure rollouts and business case modelling. Please refer the sample below.
