TE Connectivity (formerly Tyco Electronics) won a five-year, $400 million contract from NBN Co. to supply network connectivity products for the Australian government's National Broadband Network (NBN) program. The NBN program will bring high-speed broadband services to Australia. To date, TE Connectivity and ADC have supplied more than $4 million of passive optical equipment into NBN Co's First Release sites, which are currently well under construction. TE Connectivity acquired ADC in December 2010."We are thrilled to have been selected again as an NBN Co partner and we look forward to continuing our strong relationship. This is a very important program for NBN Co and for the citizens of Australia.
