G652:2016 NBN Migration Management Guideline
This guideline is designed to document the roles and responsibilities of each relevant party, that is, Telstra (as copper network owner, a major telecommunications service wholesaler and a Retail Service Provider (RSP)), legacy network owners other than Telstra, RSPs, nbn, Medical Alarm Service Providers (MASPs) and Application Service Providers (ASPs) within fixed network migration process. The Guideline describes the process to support Customer management of the various Customer groups in relation to the migration of Customers on to nbn’s network (and other similar networks).
This updated version incorporates changes driven by the Government’s Migration Assurance Policy (MAP) and incorporates considerations of changes driven by nbn’s Multi-Technology Mix (MTM) approach incorporating Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Fibre To The Building (FTTB) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) access technologies.
G646:2012 National Broadband Network – Wholesale Service Definition Framework – Telephony Access Service
The Guideline provides:
- a framework for the definition of a Wholesale Telephony Access Service that may be available on the NBN and potentially by other Wholesale Telephony Access Service Providers; and
- a description of the key capabilities to be specified in the Wholesale Telephony Access Service.
The Guideline was reconfirmed in 2017 and 2022 and the next review is scheduled to occur in 2027.
G649:2017 Cabling Existing Telecommunications Services in the Customer’s Premises for the nbn™
PART 1: CABLER INSTRUCTIONSPART 2: INSTALLATION CABLING DIAGRAMS (REWIRING GUIDE)
G649.1:2017 (.pdf, 1618 KB)
G649.2:2017 (.pdf, 1385 KB)
These instructions are designed as a guide to registered cabling providers (Cablers) attending the customer premises to migrate the existing customer services from the existing Telstra or Optus access network technology to the FTTP, FTTN. FTTB, FTTC and HFC nbn™ access network technologies.
It provides information on the preparatory steps for migrating the customer, identification of services and equipment, determining the most appropriate reconnection method and verification of the cabling work post-migration. It takes into account where there are ‘over-the-top’ (OTT) services such as personal medical alarms and security alarms for their continuing functioning once the cabling work has been completed.
G645:2017 Fibre Ready Pit and Pipe Specification for Real Estate Development Projects
The Guideline is designed to:
- outline the minimum requirements for Telecommunications pit and pipe installation within a Real Estate Development Project to be considered a Fibre Ready Facility;
- describe recommended processes for the design and installation of pit and pipe facilities for use in the deployment of Optical Fibre Lines in a Real Estate Development Project; and
- describe the recommended materials used in the design and installation of pit and pipe facilities.
The Guideline was reconfirmed in 2023 and the next review is scheduled to occur in 2028.
Provides a description of the key capabilities to be specified in the NBN service definition for the following service types:
- Ethernet Line Access Service (ELAS);
- Ethernet Line Backhaul Service (ELBS); and
- Ethernet Multicast Service (EMCS).
Defines:
- The end-to-end broadband network architecture framework.
- A range of potential passive and active NBN wholesale interconnect scenarios.
- The relationship between the customer equipment (such as Optical Network Terminations and Residential Gateways) and Retail and Wholesale Service Providers.
identifies the relevant standards which underpin the ability of the global telecommunications industry to:
- implement the NBN Reference Model as documented by the NBN Reference Model working group; and
- Implement the NBN Wholesale Services (currently limited to active layer 2 wholesale services) as documented by the Wholesale Services working group.
- relevance of the on-going work of key international standards bodies (e.g. Broadband Forum, Metro-Ethernet Forum and the ITU-T) to the NBN;
- characteristics of competing access technologies (viz. EPON and GPON; and)
- standards relevant to the need for the NBN to be Secure, Robust, Environmentally Sustainable, Future Proof, and to support IPv6.
outlines the issues associated with distribution networks, and in particular with the physical plant used for the housing of network cables.
provides a guide when planning telecommunications infrastructure in greenfields areas for the installation of new main conduits feeding one or multiple development(s) and/or the interconnection of their conduits with those of another carrier.
defines the generic elements in the passive optical infrastructure, providing an explanation of the vocabulary of the passive optical network, its building blocks, and the technical issues which must be considered and resolved for the NBN, including:
- Factors impacting the optical budget;
- Dimensioning parameters and optical budget calculations;
- General considerations for connectors versus splicing; and
- Testing.
describes:
- the main components of an NBN End-User Premises and the key details surrounding each component.
- the installation practices and guidelines for the installation and operation of the NBN at customers’ homes, businesses and other service sites.
- key information and issues relating to End-User Premises, intended to provide a common reference point for further discussions among the communications industry, construction industry, NBN infrastructure providers, government and regulators.
