Corning Cable Systems Australia, part of Corning Incorporated’s Telecommunications segment, has started working on its Altos Loose Tube Ribbon Cable production at its Clayton facilities, near Melbourne.

Fibre manufacturer, Corning Cable Systems, has pledged $40 million to add 300 to 400 jobs in Victoria in preparation for the peak rollout of the National Broadband Network (NBN).

NBN Co has awarded contracts worth up to $635 million over the next five years to six companies operating in Australia to provide an array of equipment for installation in homes and businesses as part of an NBN connection.

NBN Co has announced the three companies that will supply hardware equipment to the $35.9 billion National Broadband Network.

Work on the Government’s $250 million Regional Backbone Blackspots program is set to commence in Mt Isa on February 17.

Corning Cable Systems has been awarded a contract from NBN Tasmania to supply the fibre optic cable to connect around 5000 homes and businesses to the National Broadband Network (NBN).

NBNco’s younger sibling, NBN Tasmania, has awarded its optic fibre cable tender to US-based Corning Cable Systems for the state’s National Broadband Network (NBN) implementation.
