VoicePlus manages NBN transition for thousands of sites across Australia

VoicePlus is project managing the transition to nbn of more than 2,000 sites across Australia for customers in retail, road transport, defence, and machinery industries.

nbn is fast becoming a reality for Australian businesses.

Analogue line disconnections began last month: nbn Cut-off Date hangs over 100,000 homes and businesses

30 percent of premises were nbn-ready by January 2018, and that figure increased to 50 percent of premises in June 2018. The target is for every address in Australia to have access to the nbn by 2020.

VoicePlus establishes specialist nbn Transition Team

VoicePlus has responded to the market and the needs of our existing customers by establishing a specialist team to manage the transition of customer sites to the National Broadband Network. 

VoicePlus Managing Director, Michael Giffney, says the nbn transition is often a time-consuming and risk-inherent process for business. 

“We have several large enterprise customers who have begun the process of transitioning their sites all across Australia to the nbn.

"The key to a successful migration is careful planning and project management. It is crucial to be on top of the details of each site migration, especially the coordination of onsite technicians from both nbn Co., and Telstra.

"In many cases, the transition will cause telecommunications to be disrupted for a short time. However, if the management of the two technicians is not been coordinated, or equipment is not compatible, a site could lose communications for several days.

"VoicePlus coordinates with the business, with nbn Co. and with Telstra, to ensure a smooth transition without disruption."

Two nbn Transition Modules available

VoicePlus offers two professional service support modules, as well as an add-on Site Network Audit service.

This is an optional add-on module for sites that require an on-site technician to document their current infrastructure, test that existing equipment is nbn-compatible, resolve any existing issues with lines and connectivity, and prepare a network diagram/plan for the new nbn infrastructure.
