Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Telstra has secured a contract to provide mobile, data and voice services to Queensland’s Hamilton Island holiday resort in a three-year deal worth $4.5 million.
Under the contract, Telstra will provide a full
business solution to the owners and operators of the island resort,
Hamilton Island Enterprises, leveraging Telstra’s Next IP and Next G
networks to connect the company to its Sydney office and Robert Oatley
Vineyard interests in Mudgee. The network will also be available for
visitors and employees on Hamilton Island.
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.
