It is increasingly common for forward-thinking property developers to build fibre access to new premises from the start in preparation the eventual rollout of the Federal Government"s National Broadband Network (NBN). Spiderbox are establishing strategic relationships with major developers in Brisbane, facilitating a planned approach to delivery of the very latest technology for data & telecommunications services. By working closely with developers to lay fibre optic cable whilst the site is being prepared, both parties can work smarter to ensure installation costs are minimised for the end users who will be moving into the park. Incoming owners and tenants simply choose the level and range of services they require, with immediate connectivity available.
The average fibre to the building installation costs around $10,000. Usually, the end user or building occupier is required to outlay this kind of capital just to pull fibre in from the street. This places fibre well out of reach of many Small and Medium Enterprises.
The advantage gained by a developer in working with Spiderbox to build a "fibre ready" business park or property development is that tenants see an immediate benefit in moving to a place where high-speed technology is already in the ground. Leasing or selling property is significantly easier when the technology hurdle is removed.
Connectivity is foremost in the customer's mind, a fact that Paul Brandenburg, Director of Orra Pacific knows all too well. "...communications are third on the list of questions I'm asked. First it's what areas are available, then we talk price, and the very next thing I'm always asked is do you have fibre here?" Every time Paul is asked that question, he is able to say "Yes we do, it's already in every building." which is such a powerful statement. Developers who work with Spiderbox, are able to offer tenants a high speed, managed technology platform as a feature of their development and it becomes a key selling point.
