The nbn™ connection box (also known as a Network Termination Device or NTD) enables phone and internet providers to connect your property to the nbn™ access network.
Standard pre-installations are free of charge and carried out by a certified nbn™ communications technician once the ‘lock-up’ phase has been finalised. The pre-installation would need to take place at least 20 days before the estimated home completion date.
Arranging to have an nbn™ connection box pre-installed leads to a number of benefits, including:
- A smooth and efficient connection to the nbn™ access network with shorter activation times
- Less or no further technical visits after the building handover as installation is performed during the construction phase
- Once handover is complete, the service activation can be performed remotely by your residents’ preferred phone or internet service provider
- No need to retrofit equipment, which can affect the appearance of a completed home.
If installation isn’t performed correctly the first time, specific in-home cabling requirements may need to be considered to avoid additional building or cabling expenses for property owners.
