WHAT IS MARKETNET
• MarketNet is the rebranded and enhanced ex-NEMNet
network utilised by Participants to perform their daily
transactions between their networks and AEMO market
systems.
• MarketNet provides high availability access to AEMO’s
Market Services:

MARKETNET FEATURES
• High availability is achieved by
-
Duplicating key devices and links
Utilising diverse carriers and technologies
Transparently switching between production sites
• MarketNet supports a number of connection options:
-
Telstra IPWAN
 A dedicated data network that combines the flexible
communications of IP networks with the reliability and security of
traditional data networks
-
Internet VPN
 A secure encrypted link between Participant sites and AEMO
-
ISDN
 A dialup backup to one of the primary connection methods listed
above.

TRANSITION
• Hansen Services
o Hansen provides a connection consolidation service – as
do others – no change to this concept
o Participants can stay with Hansen if they wish – or
o If participants choose to consolidate to their existing
MarketNet links– then they may achieve savings by doing
so.
• Targetting
o RAS services – want to disestablish, as we can provide
this more reliably via VPN or existing MarketNet
connections.
o VPN connections – want to consolidate on the MarketNet
VPN service.

MARKETNET ESTABLISHMENT PROJECT
• The objective of the MarketNet establishment project is to
provide Participants with a means of utilising their existing
connections via MarketNet, to not only access the AEMO
Electricity systems, but also the AEMO Gas systems.
• A specific outcome for AEMO is to facilitate Market
Participants consolidation of their network access methods by
offering MarketNet as an alternative for accessing the Gas
systems, and thus driving down their ongoing costs
• There are 3 phases planned for this project
-
Phase 1 is to enable access to the Gas MIBB systems.
Phase 2 is to enable the access to the Gas FRC systems.
Phase 3 is to enable the access to Logica based Gas systems.

PARTICIPANTS INVOLVEMENT
• No major impact on Participants is expected. Assistance
will be required for testing, including a cutover to DR
systems.
• AEMO will be in contact with each Participant to discuss
their current connectivity methods to access the gas
systems, and investigate the opportunity to utilise their
existing MarketNet connectivity to access the same Gas
systems.
• AEMO will require a Business and IT contact from each
Participant to facilitate these discussions.
