During the latter half of 1999, The Olympic Co-ordination Authority made a decision to update the Homebush Bay site wide P.A. system to use a CobraNet signal distribution system. The first phase was the supply and installation of a CobraNet equipped Peavey MediaMatrix, with the second phase being to refit and augment the existing systems along Olympic Boulevard with CobraNet technology. A key component of the second phase was the supply and installation of new Crown amplifiers fitted with Creative Audio IQ-PIP USP2/CN modules.
The third and fourth phases were carried out immediately prior to the 2000 Olympic Games. These stages involved the completion of the speaker and amplifier installation throughout the balance of the site and the design, supply and installation of the new control system in the Homebush Bay Operations Centre (HBOC).
Most recently (end 2009) The P.A. People updated the front end of the sitewide system which now boasts the latest technology in paging systems with the installation of a Biamp Systems Vocia system.
