How GigCity works
The GigCity network delivers a low-latency and ultra-fast service, offering cloud computing and storage capabilities that support highly interactive and visually immersive experiences.
GigCity Adelaide is delivered by the South Australian Broadband Research and Education Network (SABRENet) – a fibre-optic broadband network linking Adelaide’s major research and education sites, and EscapeNet, an Adelaide-based internet service provider.
The SABRENet fibre optic network extends over 250km and connects more than 190 education, research and innovation locations across South Australia, including university campuses, research precincts, teaching hospitals, TAFE campuses and schools.
SABRENet is a not-for-profit company jointly owned by the University of Adelaide, Flinders University, the University of South Australia and the South Australian Government.
