Next-Generation Optical Broadband Access for Rural and Regional Areas

澳大利亚政府高度重视人口较少地区的宽带服务，11亿美元的“宽带连接”计划就是一个例子。目前在人口较少地区的商业宽带接入既有限又昂贵。Cubin和NEC都致力于开发能够实现真正宽带服务的解决方案。NEC澳大利亚公司庞大的研发能力是独一无二的，它将与库宾一起将这项研究转化为国家利益，包括： -创造新知识和创新 --吸引外资、促进出口 -培养高素质的博士后研究人员和研究生 -支持在澳大利亚创造就业机会和留住人才

Broadband services in less densely populated areas are a high priority for the Australian government as shown by the $1.1 billion 'Broadband Connect' program. Current commercial broadband access in less densely populated areas is both limited and expensive. Both CUBIN and NEC are committed to developing solutions that enable truly broadband services. NEC Australia's large research and development capability is unique and it, together with CUBIN, will convert this research into national benefits including: -Creating new knowledge and innovation -Attracting foreign investment and promoting exports -Training high quality post-doctoral researchers and postgraduate students -Supporting job creation and retaining talented people in Australia
