Capabilities
We offer full turnkey operate and maintenance (O&M) contracts for large critical communications networks. This means we conduct all the management of the network, while the emergency service owns the assets and infrastructure.
Our services include all reactive maintenance as well as preventative asset management with annual inspections of equipment and towers, site modifications and improvements and remote and on-site configuration changes.
A key function within is also our response to emergency situations. This may include direct responses to natural disasters such as floods and fires, as well as supporting the Emergency Serviced Organisations (ESO) during critical emergency situations.
For these situations, we have a range of response options, including deployment of generators, Cells On Wheels (CoWs – deployable small sites), through to custom site configuration or supplementation.
Some of the major functions that we offer include:
- Around the clock network operations centre (NOC) that manages site and network alarms, response to incidents through remote management or deployment field technicians and management of planned change or outages. We also operate a disaster recovery NOC.
- Level 2 engineering and higher order technical and specialist support to both the NOC team, plus the field technicians. They undertake both reactive work in support of these other teams, though to proactive management of the network in such areas as capacity and software management.
- Interdisciplinary field operations. The network is supported by our highly skilled work force of technicians and additionally, we have a select number of skilled sub-contractors who provide specialist skills (e.g. climbing and rigging).
- Comprehensive service management. Importantly we also take care of our broader customer base. This includes our main customer, the NSWTA, plus a range of ESOs and other agencies. This is done through functions such as our customer service desk, our change management capability and lastly situational awareness – keeping our eyes on the bigger picture to provide proactive support as much as we can.
