Through an agreement with the Central Local Government Region of South Australia, a body which represents 15 councils, Internode's infrastructure arm Agile Communications will roll out communication equipment that puts broadband within the reach of 80,000 residents.

When combined with current projects, Internode's broadband infrastructure will cover a vast area of rural SA from the coast through to the Victorian border.

This includes the Coorong district, the Yorke Peninsula and Port Augusta.

Internode has pioneered the use of solar-powered radio towers to deliver broadband to locations that otherwise would miss out on this facility due to small populations.

Internode is also on track to expand its broadband infrastructure in the next 12 months to cover the Riverland, the Murraylands, and other large areas of the state.
