Sydney broadband wireless access provider, BigAir has boosted coverage across Sydney and into the Western suburbs with the addition of three new base stations, that extend coverage to Blacktown, North Ryde, Baulkham Hills, Homebush, Seven Hills, Wetherill Park and beyond.

The company says it is focusing on the rapidly expanding campus-style business parks, including those located in Sydney's Western suburbs such as Norwest Business Park.

"We now have 13 base stations across Sydney with more on the way. Our continued expansion along with recently formed partnerships allows us to leverage our partners' expertise in order to reach those businesses that are in need of a high quality, high-speed broadband service," said BigAir CEO, Jason Ashton.

BigAir claims 99.95 percent or better availability and speeds up to 100Mbps. The company has also recently launched its business-grade VoIP services which includes a hosted IP centrex environment.

The company has also announced a partnership with Ethan Group, which claims to be "a pioneer in the provision of true converged solutions". However it has given no details on the nature of this partnership.
