The South Australian government has appointed SABRENet Ltd to extend its ultra-fast optical broadband network to Australia’s premier naval industry precinct, Techport Australia.

To be completed in mid 2009, the new extension will connect to the Maritime Skills Centre in the first instance, the first building completed within the Techport Australia precinct.

The Minister for Science and Information Economy Hon Paul Caica today opened the Large Animal  Research Imaging Facility (LARIF), a joint initiative of the IMVS, the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia, and is an outcome of the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).   The LARIF construction project included a 6.5 km extension of SABRENet  from Mawson lakes to the LARIF site at Gilles Plains.  The new extension will provide high speed fibre links
