Next-Generation Optical Broadband Access for Rural and Regional Areas

在人口不太稠密的地区提供宽带服务是澳大利亚政府的一个高度优先事项，这一点从11亿美元的“宽带连接”计划中可以看出。目前在人口不太密集的地区，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 Australia的大型研发能力是独一无二的，它将与CUBIN一起将这项研究转化为国家利益，包括： - 创造新知识和创新 - 吸引外国投资和促进出口 - -培养高素质的博士后研究人员和研究生 - 支持创造就业机会并留住澳大利亚的人才

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
