The nbn™ is a digital network. It’s made up of fibre optic cables that transmit digital signals.
Traditional fax machines, on the other hand, are analogue. They send and receive analogue signals, which can only be transmitted across traditional copper phone lines.
In other words, they’re two entirely different technologies – one old and one new – that are completely incompatible with each other. Analog signals simply cannot be transmitted across a digital network. It’s physically impossible.

Traditional fax machines send and receives analog signals designed for copper phone lines. Whereas nbn’s fibre optic cables transmit digital signals.
An analogue adapter, VoIP gateway or ‘nbn-compatible’ machines are all workarounds. But they all rely on a steady nbn connection to send and receive faxes.
