"With breathtaking views, no neighbours and a cosy open plan, it’s no wonder
that nbn’s Fixed Wireless towers are prized real estate for some of Australia’s
most discerning homemakers.
Standing 30 to 90 metres high, nbn Fixed Wireless transmission towers connect
some regional, rural and remote Australian areas to the nbn® network by
transmitting data via radio signals.
Of the almost 2,400 steel structures dotted around the country, more than 500
are home to nests built by Eastern Ospreys, White-bellied Sea-Eagles, Peregrine
Falcons, Torresian Crows and other native birds.
Thirty of these nests are significant, with diameters of up to two metres and
weighing anywhere from 60 to 100 kilograms.
As impressive as these lofty lodgings may be, nests often obstruct access to
antennas and dishes, making it impossible for nbn technicians to repair,
replace and upgrade equipment to keep customers connected without disturbing
the birds during breeding season."
Cheers,
