1. Lack Capacity for a Hyperscale World
2. Failed Regions in providing affordable backhaul (competition)

Australia’s existing backbone was built
for a different time
Australia’s existing infrastructure is almost two decades old and lacks capacity to support significant
growth and the further development of regional / remote areas

Building Australia’s Hyperscale Capacity for a Hyperscale
World
HyperOne will deliver capacity needed for a Hyperscale World
Build Date 1990 - 2003 2022 - 2024
Existing Networks HyperOne
Capacity / Regional connectivity Limited capacity left in the network to meet the
growing data needs of Australians. Lack of break out
points in regional and remote communities
Up to 10x fiber capacity of existing networks.
2,000+ off-ramps for regional / remote
communities
Network Old and disjointed with limited diversity
Lacks resilience required to protect our data now and
in the future
A true national backbone for every state and
territory. Multiple layers of redundancy
Establishes Australia as a stable and secure
interconnection point in Asia
Ownership Foreign and domestic 100% Australian owned
Vertical Integration / Completion Vertical Integration / competition.
Largely owned by telcos. Limited competition in
regional areas - often only served by one or two
providers
Independent - introduction of a new neutral backhaul
network will better enable competition, increasing
access and affordability

Long Haul Fibre (654.E)
Dedicated tubes of Corning 654.E (TXF) Long-Haul Large
Effective Area Ultra Low-Loss glass ideal for high-data rate
transmission over large distances. Ideal for high optical launch
power at 1550nm and 1625nm using coherent DWDM
transmission wavelengths, enabling hut skipping opportunities.
Local Access Fibres (652.D)
Remaining fibres 652.D high performance glass designed for
local access but also able to be used long-haul applications.
Importantly 652.D is able to operate in the 1310 and 1550nm
range which means seamless operation with standard (non-
coherent) optical switches and routers.
16. The World’s First, “Aware”
and Secure Network
HyperOne and FiberSense have partnered to create the world’s first 100%
FiberSense Assured Network. FiberSense will provide absolute situation
awareness of the physical fibre asset from external aggression (excavation,
erosion, animal interference). Real-time awareness of anyone attempting to
physically interfere/intercept or even touch the cable or physical surrounding
infrastructure across the entire route providing an unprecedented level of
security not available by any provider.
World's first 100% Fibersense Assured Network
Real-time awareness in the surrounding environment
Unparalleled level of awareness & security of any network in Australia

HyperOne will be the first
situationally aware network globally
Vibration and detection ranging technology which covers:
● Excavation, mechanical digging and rogue event
activity (including sabotage)
● Natural disaster detection (earthquakes, tsunamis)
● Animal and rodent detection allowing remedial action
to commence before outage
● Unauthorized network activity. Activity or damage to
cables and pit tampering
~75% reduction of rogue events

FiberSense Assured – excavation threat detection and continuous
monitoring. FiberSense DigitalAsset™ UI in Operation
1. Threat/event activity is identified and
localised in real-time (24x7)
2. In areas with excavation permitting systems,
a works registration check is undertaken to
determine rogue activity
3. If threat/open circuit activity is detected, an
Alarm is posted to the portal and
notifications sent to the client that may
initiate an onsite interdiction
4. Unauthorized works near critical
infrastructure is identified and localized in
real time (24x7)

Early Detection = Less Outages
and Faster Restoration
HyperOne = FiberSense allows preventative actions to reduce
interruption and downtime by allowing HyperOne to take
preventative actions and despatch crews to:
● intercept rogue activity before it causes interruption
● remove rodent infestations near cable infrastructure to
ensure cable integrity is maintained
● attend, interrogate and stop any detected unauthorized
network activity
Highest Uptime, MTBF and data security

H1 Submarine Route - True Threat Diversity
➔ Highest reliability / Lowest Fault Frequency Expected ~ 1:10
years (Indigo Central no faults since launch almost 3 years)
◆ Majority deep sea route
◆ Significant SPA armouring
◆ Little/no fishing along route
◆ Diverse from Indigo enabling SX style protection
➔ Submarine Route - Repeaters dual powered, ocean cooled.
➔ Fiber pair amplifiers multi/shared pumped and not subject
impacts from flooding.
➔ Perth to Adelaide terrestrial has 13 sites no mains power,
40 huts/amplifier/ROADM’s needing remote power, backup,
cooling and regular maintenance.
➔ Both rail and road routes subject to major
flooding/erosion/access issues which can result in weeks of
outages and time to repair (see images from the last few

Challenge #2 No More Handouts to Telstra
Telstra Handouts Today
● Telstra receives billions from Government each year
● Billions each year from NBN
● Hundreds of millions each year for fixed-line USO payments
● Tens of millions each year in Blackspot funding to further entrench their regional
and remote mobile monopoly
Opportunity to Re-invest for Better Digital Outcomes
● Commit to funding only open neutral host mobile blackspots
● Migrate decades old USO to “Mobile First” USO with total repackaging of the spend
(inc. Blackspots) for the next decade including a commitment to provide 98%
mobile coverage along national highways. Allows for major investment funds,
super funds, infrastructure groups to investment for long term with certainty.
