Opticomm networks fully comply with the amendments to Federal Telecommunications Act that were required to facilitate the Government’s national broadband network regulatory framework.

Opticomm is engaged with most major developers including Lend Lease, Frasers Property, Sekisui House, Australand, Mirvac, Stockland, Greenfields Development/Urban Growth NSW, CIC, LMC, MAB, Villawood, Dart West, Investa, Rawson Communities, Villa World, Citimark, Moremac Property Group, Dennis Family Homes, Meriton and many others.

At Oran Park, Opticomm offer much more than superfast Broadband and Telephone services. By offering services such as FOXTEL and Free-to-Air Television across the Opticomm Optical Fibre Network the community can take advantage of the visual benefits of an antenna-free estate as well as public access Wi-Fi in community areas.

In Master-planned communities such as Oran Park, Opticomm typically builds a low-impact headworks facility, typically a roadside cabinet located in a reserve.

Opticomm designs and maintains Pit & Pipe infrastructure and is compliant with the Communications Alliance guideline for Pit & Pipe construction (G645:2011) to work within the spatial constraints of the verge. Opticomm builds, owns and operates the Fibre-to-the-Premises network. To minimise the visual impact at Oran Park, Opticomm located the headworks with the town centre buildings in the heart of the precinct.

Network construction commenced in August 2009 in the Stage 1Display Village and the Headworks were provisioned in February 2010, closely followed by the connection of the first homes.

Opticomm offers support across network operations, project management and marketing including a Melbourne based Network Operations and Call Centre, Project Manager assigned to each project, Local technicians and in-house Pit & Pipe and network designers.

Since establishing the network at Oran Park, Opticomm has connected other communities within the Government’s South West Priority Growth Area including Gregory Hills, The Hermitage and Gledswood Hills. Today, the Opticomm network has passed over 8,000 homes in south west Sydney.
