Yup where required new cabinets will be installed...<br>

I believe the plan is to also retro fit into existing spots where
possible, unless this has changed.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You maybe thinking of the underground plant:</div><div><br></div><div>An example of an NBN pit (not reused Telstra one mind you in this photo):</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://1mmc.com/pub/nbn-pit.jpg">http://1mmc.com/pub/nbn-pit.jpg</a></div><div><br></div><div>Top of the pit has the ruggised connector box (preterminated cable into the house) and an example of a fibre joint.

(sorry not the best picture ever... couldn't find a better
one though.)<br>

So basically what happens is a single fiber runs from the
OLT to a passive splitter that you will find in some of the
old Telstra poles and pits around the place. A single fiber
is used for TX and RX using different wavelengths. <br>

<div>Splitters are in roadside cabinets. See this photo for an
example:</div>

<div>Top of the cabinet are the splitters - fibre connectors on
the back panel are towards the customers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Moving customers around and connecting them is dead easy,
just need a fibre cleaner. You can see how easy it is to
reposition customers between splitters if one runs out of
bandwidth or you move to a new technology.</div>
