The network for innovation, education and research

Our bandwidth brings your potential to life

SABRENet is a South Australian not-for-profit charity that delivers fast & affordable fibre optic broadband network connections for South Australia’s Research, Education & Innovation Precinct communities.

SABRENet has an almost 20 year history of creating a unique fibre-optic network infrastructure asset for South Australia through a mutually beneficial collaboration between SA’s three major universities (University of Adelaide, Flinders University & University of South Australia) and the South Australian Government and participation of the Defence Science and Technology Group. Having a solid ownership structure means that we offer access to a high-quality network, and a network that is meticulously operated and maintained. Our customers receive personalised quality support from our experienced, caring and purpose-driven team.

SABRENet delivers high speed, high capacity and secure network connections via ‘dark fibre’ point to point links. Our expansive carrier neutral network means that you can choose your ISP or MSP, and how you deploy and manage your network on a day-to-day basis. Purchasing SABRENet buys a reusable asset delivering intergenerational value to research, education and innovation in South Australia at a very low cost.

SABRENet is sovereign to South Australia providing confidence and security in your fibre optic broadband network infrastructure.

One of our artists came through Northern Sound as a school kid, participated in the band programs, and she is now touring America and Europe full-time as a professional musician, not only because of high-speed internet but you can see how it forms part of the eco system that breeds success.
