# Australian Broadband Networks Team Compute enables you to access, build and own the local communication infrastructure of your neighbourhood. You can be: 1. Local Node - bridging nodes within a Local Mesh together. 2. Edge Node - bridging Area Mesh with the wider internet. Both roles are as simple as connecting your Mesh Node with to the broadband router on your site (either using an ethernet cable or through WiFi radio). Campus network aims to provide a base upload speed of around 50Mbps (based on low cost 802.11n WiFi radios operating on a single 20 MHz channel with one antenna and 400ns guard interval).

# Australian Campus Network NBN's current bandwidth delivery model is extremely inefficient. Traffic between neighbours just a few METRES apart, have to travel to KILOMETRES through their local phone exchange to a [POI](https://www.nbnco.com.au/blog/the-nbn-project/what-is-a-poi-how-and-where-your-provider-connects-to-the-nbn-network) further away, then from these POI to the Internet Service Provider's data centre which is even further away, then it reached the Cloud Platform and turns around and comes back through the same POI and same exchange to the neighbours. _click image below to expand_ [![](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c7a791ffeb797f260a77b9c812c795ea9521b994.jpeg)](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c7a791ffeb797f260a77b9c812c795ea9521b994.jpeg) then on to data centre of the neighbours Virtual Private Meshes can reduce the lost the prices of internet bandwidth by supplying massive amount of last-mile capacity to helping the Australia Australia has one of the most expensive bandwidth prices prices in the world Private Cyberspace relies on Virtual Private Meshes to deliver "free" bandwidth although [Mesh Stations](https://discuss.88.io/t/mesh-station/295) working to # ---
