ASCN-listed NetComm Wireless says its experience in delivering distribution point units (DPUs) for NBN Co & # 39; s fiber to the kerb (FTTC) roll-out, it helps to take advantage of foreign opportunities.
"We have a fantastic use case in Australia with NBN, which takes the lead in implementing the first large-scale reverse DPU with four ports, to introduce FTTC to 1.5 million buildings, while the NCD [network connection devices] completes the end-to-end FTTC solution, "said CEO and general manager Ken Sheridan.
"Building on our on-site success, we see significant opportunities to implement similar large-scale solutions in Europe, where we have already completed three laboratory tests successfully, with an in-field trial currently in progress."
NBN Co is currently planning to connect approximately 1.5 million buildings using FTTC.
Together with Netcomm Wireless, Adtran and Nokia deliver DPUs for the rollout. DPUs are placed in telecomputers at households and companies and connect NBN Co's optical fiber to the copper telephone line of a location.
NetComm Wireless reported sales of $ 181.7 million today for the 12 months to 30 June, an increase of 69 percent.
Net profit after tax increased to $ 8 million, from a loss of $ 1.8 million in the previous year.
During the year, NetComm Wireless received first orders for the third-generation fixed devices used by Ericsson for the rollout of the NBN.
"In North America, we started selling fixed wireless devices to AT & T and signed a contract to deliver devices to a tier 1 carrier in Canada," Sheridan said. "These North American contracts are part of a joint effort to see that rural households get high-speed internet connections and are expected to make a strong contribution to our future growth."
NetComm Wireless said it is also well placed to benefit from global investments in 5G-based fixed wireless services.
