Broadband Data Services

The Yorke Peninsula Network

The Yorke Peninsula Network has been established by Agile Communications in conjunction with the District Council of Yorke Peninsula. The project is funded by the Australian Government's Co-ordinated Communications Infrastructure Fund (CCIF), the South Australian Government Broadband Development Fund (BDF), the District Council of Yorke Peninsula and Agile Communications.

Microwave towers have been installed at five centres - Maitland, Mount Rat, Minlaton, Warooka and Yorketown - to provide high-speed communications through the major business and population centres of the Peninsula.

The network has been created following applications made by the Yorke Peninsula Council to the Federal CCIF grants process in order to improve broadband Internet access and communications in the Yorke Peninsula region.

The systems being deployed in the Yorke Peninsula support high quality data and voice services in a single high density 'carrier class' platform. They allow Agile to operate the equivalent to a complete telephone exchange in a single equipment rack in each major network node. These systems have previously been used by Agile in the deployment of the Coorong Network.

The network delivers services within its coverage area including broadband Internet access (using ADSL2+ and wireless systems) and Voice over IP.

Business and residential customers in the Yorke Peninsula townships concerned will have access to broadband data and low-cost voice call services through ISP's in the region as well as via Internode, Agile's Adelaide-based ISP partner.

Further information on the services rollout will be provided here as the rollout progresses. Information regarding Agile's Broadband rollout to the Yorke Peninsula and other areas can be found here.
