Visionstream commenced work on the 8,400km Nextgen Optical Fibre Network in June 2001 and the final section of  the network (Adelaide - Perth) was commissioned in April 2003. This project was one of the largest infrastructure projects undertaken in Australia. The scope of the Nextgen Network project comprised the design, construction, commissioning, operations and maintenance of an ultra-high bandwidth fibre optic cable network connecting terminal or primary nodes located in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth for the carriage of wide-band telecommunications services.

On hand over in 2003 Visionstream has provided on behalf of our client Nextgen Networks, the capacity for high-speed communication services to communities and businesses throughout Australia. This includes about 70 regional centres many of whom have access to broadband telecommunications services for the first time.
