Towards Ubiquitous Connectivity in Australia

Connectivity Innovation Network (CIN), an initiative of NSW Telco Authority and The Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer, has released its first white paper exploring the challenges facing Australia in achieving ubiquitous connectivity amidst a rapidly evolving technological landscape. 

The white paper, ‘Towards Ubiquitous Connectivity in Australia,’ examines the characteristics of connectivity that are important for digital services and presents an overview of emerging technologies with the potential and capacity to provide fit-for-purpose ubiquitous connectivity to remote and rural areas throughout Australia. These emerging technologies include low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, high altitude platform stations (HAPS), large-area wi-fi and 6G mobile communications. 

The white paper has been authored by esteemed academics and CIN representatives, Professor Y Jay Guo, Professor Yonghui Li and Dr Ian Oppermann and developed in consultation with telecommunications experts, industry leaders and governmental bodies.
