VISP allows service providers to pool the data quotas of businesses with multiple premises – effectively enabling end customers to better manage their data usage and reduce costs.

The wholesale VISP product can be configured to prioritise a single Voice over IP (VoIP) service across the network. The nbn Satellite network, through a service provider, will dynamically allocate a dedicated VoIP channel over the air based on the signalling message (SIP) or identified codec (RTP).

nbn deploys VISP services with dual nbn-provided internet links at each POI to improve network availability.

nbn provides wholesale services to service providers. nbn wholesale speed tiers available to providers vary depending on the business nbn Satellite Service product(s) offered in an end customer’s area. Your experience using the business nbn Satellite Service, including speeds and other performance characteristics, depend on a range of factors, such as the latency limitations inherent in satellite communications, the particular product and product features that have been selected by the service provider, the configuration of the products and product features being delivered, the time of usage in relation to certain internet-based access products, and other factors outside of nbn’s control (like your equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, signal reception, or how their service provider designs its network).

+Whilst there there is specific limit on data usage for a VISP service, the service providers are governed by a fair use policy.

ΔPlans over the business nbn Satellite Service may not be offered by all providers.
