Vodafone connects first mobile and internet TV customers through NBN
Vodafone is recovering lost ground by taking a lead in connecting mobile, high speed broadband and internet-based FetchTV customers in tune with the National Broadband Network (NBN) roll-out.
Vodafone this week connected its first customers to the NBN site at Armidale, NSW, giving them access to mobile phone services, internet pay TV and high speed broadband services.
"We are pleased to have connected our first NBN customers and delighted to be providing them with some of the innovation that's possible with the latest generation of mobile, fixed broadband and TV services," Vodafone Hutchison Australia CEO Nigel Dews said.
Vodafone is trialling innovative TV services with new entrant FetchTV, including high definition (HD) movies on demand and is also the first operator to trial femtocell technology with the Vodafone Expand product through the NBN.
Vodafone Expand boosts indoor signal strength for Vodafone 3G mobile devices, providing better call quality and mobile internet access.
The trial is underway in Armidale, NSW, and Vodafone is planning similar trials in the other NBN trial sites Kiama, NSW, and Brunswick, Victoria this year.
