Power your productivity with nbn® Enterprise Ethernet

Aussie Broadband offers $0 standard connection fees for business nbn®. Additional charges may apply for new developments or custom installations, which are disclosed before order confirmation.

To achieve the full speed of your Enterprise Ethernet service, your router must support your selected speed tier and be configured for DHCP.

For services up to 1000/1000Mbps, Aussie Broadband can provide a managed Cisco 1100 Series router, supplied pre-configured for your service.

For higher-speed services of 2000/2000Mbps, 5000/5000Mbps and 10,000/10,000Mbps, a compatible enterprise-grade router is required. Aussie Broadband offers managed Fortinet FortiGate solutions designed to support these speed tiers. Learn more on our Fortinet page.

If you choose to use your own router, please refer to the manufacturer's setup documentation. Our team can also assist with configuration.

Some devices, including medical alarms, monitored fire alarms and lift emergency phones, must be registered directly with nbn®. You should also check the compatibility of devices such as security systems, fax machines, EFTPOS terminals, health claim terminals and landline phones. To learn more or register compatible devices, visit the nbn® device compatibility page (Opens in a new tab).

The installation of your business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet service involves several key steps, coordinated by your service provider and an nbn® approved construction partner.

• Confirm Your Details

  Ensure your business name, full address (including unit or shop number), and site contact information are accurate. Your service provider will be your main point of contact throughout the process.

• Equipment Installation

  Your premises will be fitted with a Business nbn® Network Termination Device (BNTD), either standard or high-speed, based on your service provider's recommendation. They'll confirm installation placement and any special requirements.

• Site Survey Visit

  An nbn® approved construction partner will contact you to schedule a site survey. A site contact must be available to approve equipment placement and provide access. This person should be authorised to make decisions about installation.

• Site Preparation

  Construction may be required in common areas, so be sure to liaise with your building manager early. Ensure the communications room is accessible, clutter-free, and has space for wall or rack-mounted equipment. If rack-mounted, the rack must be supplied by you.

  A standard power outlet is required within 1 metre of the equipment. Ideally, this should be a dedicated outlet for nbn® use. If one isn't available, notify your construction partner prior to installation as one will need to be installed beforehand.

• Site Survey Appointment

  The site survey typically takes 30-90 minutes and won't disrupt your current services. Share any access requirements (e.g. inductions) when booking. During the visit, you'll confirm equipment placement and discuss installation details such as power points, drilling, clearance etc.

• Installation

  Your construction partner will finalise the design and schedule installation. On the day, ensure site access and have your site contact present. The team will install the equipment, complete any necessary construction, and perform on-site testing.

• Connection

  Once installation is complete, your service provider will finalise any remaining setup and confirm when your service is ready to use. For further assistance, contact your chosen nbn® Enterprise Ethernet provider.

An Enhanced Service Level Agreement (eSLA) is nbn®'s commitment to restore eligible faults within a specified target timeframe, helping minimise business disruption and downtime.

eSLA is a key feature of business-grade nbn® Enterprise Ethernet services and is included with all Aussie Broadband Enterprise Ethernet plans. Depending on the plan selected, services include either a 12-hour or 4-hour fault rectification target, with support available 24/7.

If your business requires a different level of fault restoration support, contact our team to discuss a tailored Enterprise Ethernet solution.

nbn® Enterprise Ethernet is a Layer 2 carrier-grade fibre service that delivers bandwidth with the highest speed, performance and reliability across the nbn® ethernet access network.

nbn® Enterprise Ethernet enables a symmetrical bandwidth profile with traffic prioritisation, including low and high Class of Service (CoS). Low CoS provides an excess information rate with best effort contention, which is great for low priority applications, including internet browsing and emails, while high CoS provides a committed 1:1 information rate ideal for time-sensitive applications, including voice, video conferencing and CRM database queries.

Yes, we offer a Layer-2 4G Backup service with our Cisco 1100 series routers to support failover for nbn® Enterprise Ethernet plans.

Failover is becoming essential for business-grade connections to keep services online and minimise any downtime in the event of an unscheduled outage. Enabling 4G failover (also known as 4G backup) with your business nbn® connection means you'll have access to 4G internet that kicks in automatically if your main fixed-line nbn® connection goes down.

The redundancy that 4G failover provides is essential if your business depends on the internet to run, as the backup 4G failover connection will keep you online and operational.
