Hamilton Island CEO, Glen Bourke, said that Telstra was selected because of the ”impressive bandwidth capability the company was able to deliver to the island,” adding that “due to the geographical location of Hamilton Island, historically we have had problems with network reach, bandwidth and coverage.” Bourke said that Telstra is supplying its Managed Voice Solutions (MVS) to provide a single point of contact for the end-to-end management and support of the organisation’s voice communications and infrastructure, with the solution delivered via a dedicated service desk. According to Bourke, Telstra was the “only telecommunications provider that could fully meet our business requirements,” and, he added “Telstra’s sophisticated networks give us immediate and reliable communications access to locations both on and off the Island.” Telstra Country Wide executive director northern region, Bill Dunn, said the company was “delighted to be able to provide a complete communications solution to Hamilton Island Enterprises to ensure the island remained connected.” According to Dunn, “the breadth and depth of coverage offered by the Telstra Next G and Next IP networks will help Hamilton Island Enterprises ensure business continuity and effective and consistent operations 24 hours a day, 365 day per year.” Dunn said remote locations such as Hamilton Island are often susceptible to network failures, which ultimately impact on productivity for local businesses. |
