Regional Infrastructure
We have laid hundreds of kilometers of fibre optic cable, built more than 70 transmission sites and have over 25000 sq/km network coverage
Channel Wireless has been instrumental in constructing networks in regional areas for both the Queensland and Federal Governments, showcasing our expertise in handling large-scale projects. By actively contributing to the development of digital infrastructure in these regions, we play a vital role in fostering the growth and prosperity of local communities.
Specialising in infrastructure, we bring high-speed internet to regional areas through cutting-edge technology, deploying fiber optic networks and standalone towers with fixed wireless equipment. This ensures reliable connectivity, even in remote areas where extensive physical infrastructure might be challenging. Committed to closing the connectivity gap, we work closely with stakeholders to provide tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of regional communities, thus enhancing their access to essential services and opportunities for development.
Some of Our Projects
Below are some of the projects we've executed

"Channel Wireless have proven to be an exceptional technology partner and contractor for QCN Fibre. Our collaboration has been instrumental in navigating and successfully executing complex projects in regional Queensland, achieving the desired project outcomes. Together, we continue to pave the way for enhanced connectivity solutions and technological advancements in the region." - Derek Merdith, CEO, QCN Fibre
Connected Networks has been appointed Principal Contractor to QCN Fibre for a number of significant projects under the Regional Connectivity Program. These projects include the building of three towers and 30+ kilometers of fiber optic network in the Central Highlands District of Queensland.
As a result of these projects, Channel Wireless is now able to deliver high-speed internet to the towns of Bluff, Duaringa, and Dingo. Previously, residents of these towns were only able to get download speeds of 5-10 Mbps on the NBN network. With Channel Wireless new infrastructure, residents can now get download speeds of up to 250 Mbps for the same price.
This increased speed and reliability of internet access will have a number of benefits for residents of these towns. They will be able to work from home more effectively, access educational resources online, and stream movies and TV shows without buffering.

Connecting Goondiwindi with CBNCo
"We cannot speak highly enough of the relationship that we have with Channel Wireless they have helped us to deliver much-needed internet coverage to over 300 rural residents and businesses in the Goondiwindi region"
- Trent Murray, Director CBNCo.
In 2017, Channel Wireless approached Goondiwindi Communications with a solution to build a local internet service provider (ISP) to address the town's internet connectivity problems. These problems included slow speeds, patchy service, and a lack of support from major national telecommunications providers. In response to this Goondiwindi Communications formed CBNCo to provide town-wide internet.
Connected Networks designed and now provides ongoing management of a fixed wireless internet network for CBNCo in Goondiwindi. Connected Networks also provisioned a "telco in a box" solution for CBNCo, which includes pricing models, support, tools, and training to perform all installations.
The network has also helped to stimulate economic development in the town and accordingly below are a few of the benefits of the fixed wireless internet network:
-
Reliable and high-speed internet access
-
Increased economic development
-
Improved quality of life for residents
-
Reduced reliance on major national telecommunications providers
