This connection is typically used in circumstances where the distance between premises can be many kilometers. Data travels from a transmission tower located as far as 14 kilometers, to an nbn™ outdoor antenna that has been fitted to the premises by an approved nbn™ installer. Fixed Wireless connections also require an nbn™ connection box to be installed at the point where the cable from the nbn™ outdoor antenna enters your premises. This chatiw device requires power to operate and can only be installed by an nbn™ approved installer. When you contact your phone and internet provider to connect to the nbn™ network, they should arrange for an nbn™ approved installer Ome tv to call you and organize a visit to your premises to connect you.
