"Reliable, high speed broadband is critically important to our business. Prior to the NBN, we were unable to demonstrate our HD video conferencing technology at its full capacity. Previously we had a connection which would only allow us to connect to one site at a standard resolution.
 
"Since being connected to NBN we now routinely achieve speeds of 95Mbps down/36Mbps up2. Sending large email attachments, downloading files, transferring files to customers - all complete in just seconds, not hours. We run all of our telephones on VoIP now too - generating huge cost savings and the voice quality is excellent."
 
- Sam Dawes, Director, Teleheath Connect, Brunswick, VIC

Benefits of the NBN for your business. www.nbnco.com.au

How could you increase your business's potential?
What should you, as a business owner or manager, do to take advantage of services provided over the NBN?
 
Based on NBN Co's work with small and medium businesses in NBN connected sites, the six most important business planning questions you can ask are:
 
How will my customers buy from me in the future?
Am I able to compete in a national or global marketplace?
How will I mange my relationship with customers, from marketing to after-sales service?
How will I attract qualified staff to sustain my business?
How do I retain my staff by offering an attractive work environment comparable to what is on offer from big business?
How do I streamline business processes so that I have more time to work on the business rather than in it?
Increasingly, it seems that one of the key answers to these questions is "online".
 
How your business could benefit
Streamlining your business processes can be made possible in many ways with a connection to services delivered over the NBN.
 
High speed internet access solutions that
were once only the reserve of big business,
due to the money and resources required
to implement them, are expected to become
accessible to many.
 
Small businesses, such as Telehealth Connect
in Brunswick, Victoria who is connected to
NBN fibre, have experienced the advantages of
connecting to services provided over the NBN.
Issues
HAC’s hatchery, farming and processing practices are among the world’s best. HAC recognises it must continue to be globally competitive if it is to maintain its success and compete in domestic and export markets. Delivering a premium quality product requires a high level of coordination and control throughout the production chain. Consequently, Huon’s business is ‘information intensive’ and heavily reliant on information and communications technology, across the enterprise’s operations in offices, processing facilities, remote hatcheries and on-water operations.
 
Solutions
In 2010 TasmaNet where contracted to provide high speed wireless communications to its operations in the Huon Region in southern Tasmania. Using high speed wireless technologies TasmaNet has linked a number of HAC’s production facilities, workshops and offices located in the Huon Valley area.
 
Through TasmaNet’s backhaul delivery of high speed broadband and Internet into the region, HAC’s operations as a global salmon producer are significantly enhanced.  Together, TasmaNet and HAC are continuing to work on further expansion of the network and exploring new ways of enriching the capture and communication of HAC’s operational and strategic information.
 
Results
HAC have already achieved substantial cost savings and significant performance improvements with respect to data communications for operations in the Huon Region.
We have also been impressed with TasmaNet’s ongoing commitment to innovation and service delivery and are actively pursuing a number of new opportunities to utilise long range broadband wireless communications in other areas of the business.
