Kentrox Expands Operations in Australia
Providing complete site management, monitoring, and control solutions
COLUMBUS, Ohio & MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kentrox, Inc., an innovator of site monitoring, management, and control solutions, has been providing solutions to Australian service providers for more than 15 years. With the increase in requirements for site monitoring and management throughout the country, Kentrox has expanded its operations and created AccessTel Kentrox Australia (AKA) Pty Ltd. AKA is a joint venture between Kentrox and longstanding partner AccessTel Pty Ltd with its headquarters in Melbourne, Australia, providing site management solutions and service offerings to service providers nationwide.
The 2007 Australian government decision to create a national high-speed broadband network has the potential to transform every aspect of Australian life, including health, education, business, and government services. Broadband access allows users to have fast online access to digital data, services, and applications – simultaneously.
Growth in the Australian wireless market has increased in recent years due to population growth and the number of people with two subscriptions – one for business and one for personal. Australian mobile subscriptions are expected to be more than 25 million by the end of 2011. With the continuing adoption of new data services and smartphones, service providers are being forced to improve network quality and reliability by their customers.
The demand and growth in both the broadband and wireless markets throughout Australia will continue to force service providers to offer high quality offerings at a reasonable cost. This has prompted providers nationwide to enhance their network infrastructure with solutions such as those offered by AKA.
The comprehensive site management solution from AKA is designed to help automate site management while dramatically reducing operating expenses and improving network quality, ultimately resulting in higher customer satisfaction. Using Optima and the Remote suite of products, service providers can proactively monitor and manage all critical site elements remotely, including security and power systems, environmental equipment and conditions, radios, backhaul circuits, and more, regardless of technology or manufacturer.
“During the last five years, we have seen considerable growth in our activities with service providers throughout Australia due to more mobile subscribers, increased service offerings, and the creation of a national broadband network,” explains Rich Cremona, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kentrox. “Creating AccessTel Kentrox Australia was a natural step to offer the best site management solutions and services nationwide. We already have hundreds of sites in Australia using Kentrox products, and having a local presence will enable us to help service providers, whether in telecommunications, utilities, or other industries, improve their networks while reducing operating costs.”
“We are excited about the formation of AccessTel Kentrox Australia,” stated Danie Blom, Managing Director for AccessTel. “We have been partners with Kentrox for more than 10 years and embrace their solutions because of the quality and high reliability of their products, their innovative site management system, and their focus on customer requirements. Our local team of experts allows us to deliver the necessary services to customers throughout Australia. This helps us efficiently meet their site management needs, such as power and microwave management, security, environmental management, LTE implementations, and much more.”
