Manage episode 433534002 series 3554121
Unlock the future of internet connectivity with our special guest, Robert Joyce, head of customer strategy and innovation at NBN. In this episode, Robert outlines the game-changing advantages of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites over traditional geostationary satellites, including their potential for lower latency and global coverage. While NBN isn't building its own LEO constellation, they are strategically considering partnerships to supercharge their service offerings. Discover how emerging technologies like Apple Vision Pro and holographic telepresence are pushing the demand for higher internet speeds, possibly up to 500 Mbps, and learn why educating customers on the necessity of these speeds is more critical than ever.
Next, embark on a nostalgic journey through the evolution of technology, from vinyl records and AM radios to the modern convenience of voice-activated devices like Alexa. Learn how collaborations with industry giants like Nokia and Ericsson and innovative university projects are driving advancements in telecommunications infrastructure. Sustainability is a key focus, with discussions on the significant energy savings of fibre CPEs compared to 5G modems and NBN’s ambitious goal of achieving 100% sustainable power by 2025 through solar farms. Understand how these sustainable practices are not only essential for national infrastructure but also for the broader economy.
Finally, gain insights into the principles of driving innovation and leadership in the technology and telecommunications industry. We dive into the importance of team collaboration, shared vision, and clear objectives, emphasising the 80-20 rule for decision-making. Learn why separating day-to-day operations from strategic thinking is crucial, and how a dedicated team focused on future partnerships and advancements can shape the industry. Explore future trends like increasing bandwidth needs, the potential of holographic telepresence, and how robust bandwidth is vital for technologies like AI in medical imaging. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in the future of communication and technology.
