The Norfolk Island telephone exchange is an Ericssons AXE 103 equipped with 2,500 analogue lines and 32 ISDN BRA circuits. Call data is captured on Sunsparc stations and then forwarded to the Administration accounts department for processing and sending out to customers. The telephone exchange was upgraded in 1999 to satisfy millennium requirements and is capable of the "Easy Call" facilities enjoyed on the mainland.

The external cable reticulation is predominantly underground grease filled cables utilising above ground pillars and elevated joints as distribution points. Recently line concentrators have been installed to help overcome congested areas caused by the sudden flood of services from subscribers requesting additional lines into premises for internet.
