The Silk Network.
Silk operates an extensive
high speed optical fibre telecommunications network throughout
Australia and key regional business centres.
We provide businesses with
communication services in all of Australia’s major
population centres.
We ensure efficiency
with our high capacity inter-capital backbone, which we failsafe
by using many diverse links.
Our Ethernet and SDH services
are delivered using the latest and the best world class carrier
equipment available.
The electronic equipment
we use throughout the Silk optical fibre network is capable
of delivering customer access speeds of 10Gbps per access.
As well, we have a core
network capacity of 720Gbps which can provide multiple accesses
to sites if more than 10Gbps is required.
Using our extensive Silk
optical fibre network, we can provide high bandwidth mobile
and DSLAM backhaul services for any number of carriers and
ISPs.
Customer access tails are
delivered to Carrier Interconnection Points and Data Centres.
Our
high quality Internet services complete a total communications
package for customers seeking a robust ‘total service’offering.
