QCN

🫳🎤 CommsDay Wholesale Congress was electric! Proud to see Jason representing our company on a panel about the future of connectivity! They shared valuable insights on achieving seamless connectivity between land, sea, and data centres. The discussion focused on how collaboration can drive productivity and the role of new infrastructure in linking regional communities. It’s exciting to see the real impact we can make by continuing to connect Queenslanders. Stronger networks = stronger communities, supporting regional growth through digital innovation! #ConnectingQueensland Communications Day (CommsDay)

Fantastic news for the South Burnett Region in Communications Day (CommsDay)! Kingaroy and Nanango are the next towns to get high-speed internet as part of QCN’s regional programs funded by the Queensland Government. Protected, high-capacity backhaul means our delivery partners can provide services equivalent to, or better than, services in the metropolitan areas, and at equivalent prices.  This enables better access to telehealth appointments with doctors, specialists and mental health practitioners, improved online learning and emergency information for severe weather events. All in all, another day of QCN delivering on its mandate to break the digital divide. South Burnett Regional Council #ConnectingQueensland #BreakingtheDigitalDivide

We’re QCN. We’re proudly connecting Queenslanders. We’re about pipes, meat pies and cable ties. And we’re bringing world-class telecommunications into regional Queensland. Under the CopperString 2032 early works project we’re building fibre into, and throughout, Cloncurry, Julia Creek, Richmond and Hughenden. And we need “pipes”. Based in Hughendon, Viper Water Solutions manufactures & supplies high-quality polyethylene pipe, fittings, troughs, water tanks, and anything water-related for farms, cattle stations, mines, irrigation and water supply development projects. And now Viper are “into telco”, supplying the conduit that carries our fibre, that brings digital connectivity to Queenslanders.

CopperString 2032 Putting North Queensland firmly back on the map #ConnectingQueensland

We’re not just about delivering world-class telecommunications into regional Queensland.   We’re about pipes, meat pies and cable ties.   Our investment is not just fibre in the ground. We’re spending money in the local community. We’re spending on pipes, meat pies and cable ties. And steaks. And fuel. And accommodation.   Pictured: Our Dantel Communications fibre delivery team (Pete, Brent, Jack and Jason) getting their smiles and supplies from Leah and Stephen, owners of Julia Creek Foodmart. #ConnectingQueensland

This is a great success story and a reflection of the foresight of the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council's investment in the region. QCN is also a reflection of the foresight of the Queensland Government, we provide the "big infrastructure" that supports NEXTDC in the Sunny Coast and in Brisbane. We're proud to boast that we were the Maroochydore Landing Station's anchor backhaul provider and continue to provide high capacity, protected and diverse paths into SC1. And our fibre footprint enables us to connect the same "big infrastructure" to other regional data centres such as Pulse Data Centre (Toowoomba), Polaris Data Centre and NQRDC in Townsville. #ConnectingQueensland iseek

Hughenden businesses predict high-speed digital connectivity will be a “game-changer” ___ Metropolitan grade internet is a step closer for Hughenden after construction of the CopperString 2032 project’s first workforce accommodation and facilities offially kicked off with a sod turning earlier this month.     The President of the Hughenden Chamber of Commerce, Les Carter, says improved digital connectivity delivered as part of the CopperString project will propel the regional town forward.   The owner of Carter Concrete and Sheds has been in business for over 30 years and says digital communication has always been a challenge, including within Hughenden’s new industrial estate.    “With the industrial estate what’s happening, I’ve got a couple of businesses up there of my own, I can’t get cameras up there for security because we’ve got no service there and it’s very poor,” he said.    “We’ve got a business up there at the moment, he’s actually got to operate from home to do his accounts, he can’t do it from his business because the internet is too poor.”   The Powerlink Queensland-led CopperString 2032 project will connect high voltage powerlines from the East Coast Electricity Grid and the North West Minerals Province.   Part of the $5 billion electricity transmission project is for Powerlink subsidiary QCN to deliver high-speed digital connectivity to communities along the corridor between Mulgrave, south of Townsville, and Mount Isa.    QCN has unique access to an existing optic-fibre cable running along the Flinders Highway which will provide high-speed wholesale backhaul (backbone network) to Internet Service Providers (ISPs).    ISPs can then offer their customers metropolitan-grade upload and download speeds.     Les Carter says it will make Hughenden more attractive for business.      “It’ll be fantastic, especially for new businesses coming into town,” he said.    “If Powerlink, and we’re talking about the fibre-optic coming through, that will be a game-changer for all of us.” #ConnectingQueensland #BreakingtheDigitalDivide #Telecommunications
