Laying the foundations of a digital future
We are delivering digital infrastructure to support the first stage of Bradfield City, Australia's first new city in 100 years. This includes a high-speed fibre optic network connecting directly to every building, and the installation of advanced Multi-Function Poles.
Together, these systems lay the foundation for a highly connected, future-ready precinct.
The commercial deal with Superloop and partner OneWiFi will deliver the networks and connectivity for high tech industries, learning institutions, businesses and residents.
The digital infrastructure will activate the precinct and support the development of land releases, such as the 5.7 hectare First Land Release.
BDA's commercial deal with Superloop delivers key digital infrastructure to enable future-ready development and connectivity.
