What connecting to Ten Gigabit Adelaide means to these local businesses
Hollywood has dramatised Artificial Intelligence (AI) from ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ to ‘The Matrix’ but, today, AI is being used to help businesses with predications for complex problems.
Adelaide-based Consilium Technology provides AI solutions for agriculture, defence, mining, energy and advanced manufacturing businesses locally and internationally and is one many organisations unlocking new ways of doing business by being connected to Ten Gigabit Adelaide.
Consilium Technology works with customers to understand their business and identify opportunities for data to be used to improve predictions and make better decisions.
An algorithm is developed and ‘trained’ to detect patterns in substantial sets of data, often at a scale that cannot be managed manually. This allows the businesses to innovate and enhance their decision making which in turn improves operational efficiencies and workflows.
The viticulture industry has seen enormous benefits using AI solutions. Consilium Technology was contracted by Wine Australia to develop machine learning algorithms to scan satellite images of five million hectares of land in Australia and detect vineyards automatically, producing the National Vineyard Scan.
The national scan, which is one of the first of its kind in the world, identifies Australia’s vineyard locations, area, number of vine rows, vine row length and planting densities.
For the first time, Australia’s grape and wine sector know the locations of these plantings which is crucial for emergency biosecurity responses and foundation data about an industry that contributes $45.5 billion each year to the Australian economy. The vineyard boundaries have also been used in an application to support growers in managing their vineyards.
Consilium Technology was founded on cloud-based services in 2010. Working with large volumes of data means high speed internet is essential, so a 10Gbps connection with Ten Gigabit Adelaide was an ideal solution.
CEO and founder of Consilium Technology Seth Thuraisingham said the increase in speed from their previous 100MB connection to the Ten Gigabit Adelaide network has been an enormous help for the organisation.
“Ten Gigabit Adelaide improves our ability to utilise cloud computing for the development of AI algorithms using very large data sets,” Seth said.
“It has also benefited the business by servicing multiple levels on our building without having to have multiple contracts with a provider.”
As leader in machine learning, modelling and simulation, it would be hard to imagine Consilium Technology would accept anything other than the best tools available and Adelaide’s Ten Gigabit Adelaide network is a perfect fit for these expectations.
“Faster is better, we won’t settle for second best with internet speed," Seth said.
"Waiting for anything because of the internet connection is no longer an option."
Access to the Ten Gigabit Adelaide network is one of the benefits of operating in the heart of the city, with Seth saying access to the network supports the Consilium Technology's base in a central location where there are economies of scale.

Fresh 92.7 has always called the city home and is approaching the ten-year anniversary in its current location in Cinema Place. Founded in 1998, the radio station has evolved from a passion project amongst three friends to become Adelaide’s leading youth station, broadcasting to nearly 200,000 listeners a week.
As a not-for-profit community radio station, finding reliable cost-effective business solutions has always been a behemoth task for Fresh. Internet connectivity plays a fundamental role in everything from daily operations to delivering the core services to its audience. Reliable connectivity is required to broadcast to its online audience 24/7 as well as to maintain its technical systems. The majority of the technical maintenance function is performed remotely, with access required at all times.
“When the opportunity to connect to Ten Gigabit Adelaide came up, we knew it would transform the way we operate. The bandwidth is ten times faster than our previous connection while the price is less than half. The unlimited data allowance has also allowed us to streamline a number of core functions,” said Lead Broadcast and Systems Engineer Michael Cheshire.
Prior to signing up for Ten Gigabit Adelaide, the station was struggling to function using a 100Mbps fibre connection that was shared with Radio Adelaide in the same premise. The expensive connection posed major limitations due to speed that was too slow for Fresh to serve its online listener streams in-house. The small bandwidth also meant that contention was an issue, as one service or user often saturated the connection deeming it unusable for the rest of the organisation.
“We did consider the NBN however found that it was too slow, asymmetrical (different upload and download speeds) and suffered from reliability issues therefore did not meet our requirements.”
The organisation has always strived to bring people together – employees forging formidable careers in media, a large cohort of dedicated volunteers, Adelaide’s up-and-coming creative artists and those who appreciate a good dance or urban tune. Fresh currently employ 14 staff who use various cloud based services and video conferencing tools on a daily basis. Remote access is also vital in allowing their large and enthusiastic volunteer base to contribute from wherever they are.
“The high-speed connection allows our staff to communicate virtually and connect seamlessly. They can get things done in less time, providing more value to the business.”
Fresh are now able to broadcast its internet streams (icecast) from its premises in Cinema place rather than relying on expensive and poor performing public cloud services. A fast, uncontended and reliable internet connection has opened up expansive opportunities to improve in areas such as outside broadcasts – where the internet is essential to getting the audio back to the station - and enabling Fresh to start planning for the delivery of future services that had previously not been possible.
“We already love the city however having access to such cost effective, high speed internet will make any decision to move out of the city in the future even more difficult.”

Local and global connectivity is key for Adelaide-based architecture and interior design practice, Das Studio, as it prepares to join the Ten Gigabit Adelaide network.
Led by founders Sara Horstmann and Dino Vrynios, Das Studio and its team of sixteen creatives have a reputation for delivering contemporary design solutions across a range of residential, education, health, hospitality and tourism projects.
“Our motto is to 'make better' and that very much includes a better workplace, better ways of working and better outcomes for all," said Sara and Dino. "We place this filter over everything we do as a business.”
This ethos was pivotal when the opportunity arose for their McLaren Street office to connect to the cutting edge Ten Gigabit Adelaide network.
"As a business, we have a responsibility to our team and our clients to be ahead of the curve both creatively and practically," said the founders. “The CBD offers us the best access to these opportunities, and Adelaide has always been something of a prototype for the rest of the world.”
For the team at Das Studio, one of the most anticipated advantages of the Ten Gigabit Adelaide network is the high-speed connection to reliably share large files and the security of cloud-based storage.
Specific to our industry is electronic transfer of detailed 3D models which are always large files. Our work is produced using programs that consume a great deal of storage so the more working files that can be shifted securely to the cloud, the better.
In the past the team have often been faced with the slow and cumbersome process of uploading large architectural files for colleagues and clients to review, however with increased data speeds they plan to move all working files online to be stored and accessible via the cloud.
The increased speeds will also enable the team to provide a suite of new, innovative online services to clients such as 3D visualisations, fly throughs, and Virtual Reality walkthroughs.
The move to Ten Gigabit Adelaide is part of this exciting growth for Das Studio. "We are constantly adapting our methods of working to make sure we are exposing ourselves and our clients to the most innovative or exciting opportunities available," said Sara and Dino.
The recent COVID-19 situation highlighted the importance of reliable internet for workflow and connection amongst the team virtually. As a result, the team are planning to further shift to cloud-based working in real time once connected to Ten Gigabit Adelaide.
The reliable and high-speed connection will allow them to continue to adapt quickly in a fast-paced industry, where projects often require real time input or collaboration from multiple stakeholders.
"We will have a greater capacity to complete work in Adelaide and switch off for the night, while a collaborator on the other side of the world continues where we left off. That's the power of a reliable connection," said the founders.
With its increased online capabilities, Das Studio see advantages for workflow efficiencies and collaboration.
“In the future, we assume Revit (3D modelling software) files will be predominantly stored in the cloud and worked on from there. This allows us to gain the ability for cloud-based working in real time with external collaborators and consultants which could include sharing live 3D models between architecture and engineering teams that are updated in real time and worked on collaboratively.”
Das Studio also has ambitions to extend into the teaching space and host a series of professional development programs and presentations. A livestream format - hosted in real time - will make it more accessible for students and peers to connect from across the globe, particularly amidst the restraints of COVID-19.
“If we’ve learnt anything from the current climate, it’s that businesses need to be agile,” said Sara and Dino.
“With Ten Gigabit we hope to continue our reach outside of Adelaide and operate alongside people from anywhere, anytime.”

Windmill Theatre Company is Australia's largest producer of theatre for young people and their families. They create original theatrical works in South Australia and take them to stages locally, nationally and internationally. Windmill’s 2020 season saw a schedule of over 300 performances across 35 cities in four continents prior to COVID-19. Beyond the stage, the company also produces film and TV via their subsidiary, Windmill Pictures.
In the rapidly changing landscape of 2020, Windmill Theatre Company capitalised on the Ten Gigabit Adelaide network to enhance its business model and offering. The network enabled the company to quickly pivot to a digital-first strategy while theatres around the country (and the world) were shut.
“For us, there is no difference in cost however we essentially have a speed that is ten times faster with substantially improved stability,” said Windmill Theatre Company Producer Ross McHenry. “It’s enabled us to not only dramatically improve our productivity, but to provide our audiences with a better experience from afar.”
With a small team, otherwise minor digital vulnerabilities can take a large toll. The ability to have security and confidence in their digital systems has been invaluable for the company, which relies on being able to send, receive and access large files seamlessly. The Ten Gigabit Adelaide network has transformed their file management system, placing the company in a better situation to produce their various creative projects moving forward.
“Reliable file management is crucial for any creative organisation, but especially one like Windmill. We work across a vast array of projects across stage and screen, and liaise with artists and stakeholders all over the country and the world. Creative work is often irreplaceable and impossible to replicate. Archival recordings of our shows are a critical requirement to locking in touring for our shows. Without reliable file management, our business wouldn’t be able to perform on an international stage,” said Ross reflecting on the upcoming 10th anniversary remounting of the popular stage version of Grug, which returns to Adelaide after touring internationally.
Windmill’s digital needs are as varied as they are vital. Even before Covid, remote working was a common element of Windmill Theatre Co’s operating structure. The team were consistently on the road either touring or selling shows. More recently they have adapted to working from home and creating and promoting work without the possibility of in-person creative development, performance and touring negotiations.
“Before we had access to the Ten Gigabit network and we were moving to cloud-based services, speed was a major limitation hindering our team’s ability to work and contribute effectively. Our Ten Gigabit connection makes us a nimble business. We can now do more in the time we have.”
The collaborative capacity now extends much further than the company. Windmill Theatre Company established its roots in the city’s South East before strategically cementing itself in the Adelaide College of Arts Centre. The move sought to empower the collaboration of its nine full-time employees, troop of 75+ artists and team of crew members with other South Australian arts companies, as well as creative arts students in the precinct.
“The Ten Gigabit connection allows us to both send and receive larger files much more easily. We can view, edit and send files faster than before which has been incredibly helpful for our workflow and tight deadlines.”
With a connection that is faster and more reliable for the same cost as their prior connection, connecting to Ten Gigabit Adelaide was an easy decision for Windmill Theatre Company. “You’d be crazy not to consider connecting,” says Ross, “it’s a significant advantage to any business.”

St Mary’s College fuses its rich heritage with a future-focused approach on engaging all its students, digitalising the majority of processes that facilitate learning. In 2016, the school implemented the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program which allows students to bring personal devices that they feel comfortable using. There's been nearly 100 per cent uptake with roughly 600 students from year 5 to year 12 participating in the program. Students have the option to bring Mac or PC devices which seamlessly integrate with the colleges Office 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud services and other required software.
The school will begin using Ten Gigabit Adelaide in February 2020, which will transform the delivery of current programs and allow St Mary's to maximise tools to levels that have previously been unattainable.
Established in 1869, St Mary’s College is one of the oldest schools in South Australia and is celebrating 150 years of delivering academic excellence and female empowerment. The school has 850 students across reception to year 12 and employs over 100 staff members.
The school is currently connected to a 200Mbps connection and the speed of this service has presented significant challenges in delivering a consistent and reliable experience for students and teachers, with periods of high demand rendering the connection unusable multiple times a day. Ten Gigabit Adelaide will provide St Mary's a connection speed five times faster than their current plan.
"Ten Gigabit Adelaide was an opportunity that we couldn't pass up as it offers the capacity to grow as our needs grow," said Director of ICT James Gauci.
Lessons are becoming more heavily web and cloud-based, meaning the capacity of the school's internet connection is critical. Ten Gigabit Adelaide will empower a seamless cloud and web experience without disruption. It will allow students to access larger files that are unable to be sent via email through OneDrive, which is part of the Office 365 suite around the clock. Products such as OneNote can facilitate simultaneous collaboration and documentation in real-time. St Mary’s broader business processes also heavily leverage the cloud through the use of SEQTA, the school management system.
Connectivity is the bedrock of collaboration across all subjects, with tools such as Cisco Webex Teams and OneNote already used to record and annotate various activities in the classroom. Consuming media, analysis and reporting also happens seamlessly using ClickView where students can respond to discussion points and interact with their peers in real-time at various parts of a video.
James said, “having that connectivity is paramount because it means the saving of resources from these collaborative discussion sessions is happening in real-time."
The upgraded high-speed connection will open the door to achieving critical areas of focus, including building engagement with families and the wider community. The capabilities of SEQTA can update school grades but now allow parents through tools such as SeeSaw and SEQTA Engage to follow their child's progress, receiving notifications of school announcements on streamlined platforms.
“One of the areas Ten Gigabit Adelaide opens the door for us is our ability to use the connection to deliver new services – all in house,” said James. “That flexibility for growth is vital, I believe, for any school to have."

The Australian Institute of Business (AIB) is proud to be the first business and building in South Australia to connect to the Adelaide City Council’s revolutionary high-speed fibre optic data network – Ten Gigabit Adelaide. The network provides access to 10Gbps uncontested data speeds which is the fastest internet connection available in Australia and the only network of its kind for businesses.
At AIB’s headquarters on March 5, the then Lord Mayor Martin Haese officially launched Ten Gigabit Adelaide and, along with AIB CEO Paul Wappett, connected AIB to the ultra-fast network which is being delivered by TPG Telecom.
As the largest MBA provider in Australia and leaders in accessible online education, fast and reliable internet speeds and data capabilities are critical to the delivery of AIB’s programmes. The phenomenally fast 10Gbps data speeds will support AIB in improving the interactive online learning experience for its students in Australia and around the world.
On being the first business in Australia to experience the network, Paul Wappett said he and the AIB staff are thrilled.
“As a progressive higher education provider delivering online education for working adults, it is critical we embrace industry-leading technology. This new network is faster and more affordable, allowing us to continue to provide accredited, high-quality post-graduate education at an affordable price point. It also enables us to further enhance our interactive online learning experience and export it around the world.”
AIB has invested significantly in its online learning environment and infrastructure over the past two years to create a truly engaging and interactive learning experience for its students. In addition, following the successful transition to online exams this year, The Agile MBA is now 100% online, allowing students greater flexibility and accessibility to study from anywhere in the world.
Proudly a South Australian business, AIB has been delivering business education from the state since its inception in 1984. The business school has become a truly global institution, with students and alumni from over 90 countries, but South Australia remains the ideal location for AIB to export its programmes to the world.
“South Australia has become a hub for innovation in recent years, aligning well with AIB’s innovative approach to education. The new Ten Gigabit Network is an example of that and another reason why Adelaide is the right place for AIB to be based,” Paul Wappett explained.
