How will NBN and the pending disconnection of the copper network affect your village?

With the pending disconnection of the copper network, I would like to share a recent news story that was covered at an NBN Co media event at which we presented.

Below is a link to the news item which ran on the WIN Australian News Network on the upcoming disconnection of the copper network, which has now begun in early deployment sites.

The event featured our new LifeGuard SmartHome products , as well as our NBN compatible analogue diallers – both are featured in the video.

INS LifeGuard staff and I have personally worked closely with NBN Co for over two and a half years, and we’ll be assisting in the roll-out of the register mentioned in the above story.

At this time, it is imperative that village operators are aware of how the NBN will affect their villages and residents. Due to our intimate involvement with the NBN, we are happy to provide advice on this important subject to our valued clients.

We have also recently released LifeGuard’s SmartVillage voice and internet service options, which provide villages with a total managed solution and residents within villages with our telephony services, internet and medical alarm packages in a low-cost, secure, managed way.

This can be provided using the village’s current infrastructure, including copper, CAT or fibre cabling, or by utilising our low-cost 3G SIM services, or even site-wide Wi-Fi.

The LifeGuard SmartVillage solution can provide residents with telephone and internet service at a fraction of the normal retail cost – for some as low as around $20 per month per home. This can also provide a potential ongoing revenue stream for the village.

If you would like more information on preparing for and transitioning to the NBN, or LifeGuard SmartHome or SmartVillage solutions, please do not hesitate to email us or give us a call on 1800 636 226.

Sincerely,
Claude Rafin
Managing Director
