Creating resilient connectivity networks
With 89% of our citizens living in just a handful of cities, Australia is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the region.
Stronger communications networks are key to ensuring regional and remote communities remain connected to social and economic opportunities across Australia. Join us at the Public Sector Network’s complimentary Statewide Connectivity virtual event which will bring together architects, developers and administrators of telecommunications infrastructure to strategise how emerging technologies can help connect Australian communities.
By innovating robust communication networks, the public sector can help provide equal economic and social opportunity to all Australians.
