OPTUS BUSINESS FIRST TO DELIVER ENTERPRISE OFFERING WITH BUSINESS GRADE SPEEDS OVER NBN

Optus Business first to deliver enterprise offering with business grade speeds over NBN

Enterprise and government customers access Optus Evolve voice and data services over NBN

Optus customers will be the first in Australia to take advantage of NBN business grade access with committed data speeds and VPN networks through the Optus Evolve suite of services, providing faster connectivity and seamless service for enterprise and government customers.

The new NBN business grade access means Optus customers can make the most of fast and reliable broadband for business critical and bandwidth-intensive applications such as video conferencing and Wide Area Networks (WAN) as well as improved access to cloud-based services, a key differentiator in the global digital economy.

Optus Evolve is a suite of configurable, integrated communications products that simplify and integrate voice and data services for enterprise customers.

John Paitaridis, Managing Director, Optus Business said, “We continue to see strong and increasing demand from our customers for enterprise-level NBN access that has the capability to deliver leading business solutions and applications.

“This new NBN access complements Optus' already extensive national network access infrastructure across Australia and offers customers more choice and competitive options, especially in regional locations.”

“The NBN offers access to high speed broadband and opens up a range of new opportunities for businesses to connect with their customers and partners around the world,” Mr Paitaridis said.

Range of packages to suit customer needs

Optus Business customers can choose from two access options suited to their budget and service requirements, including:

• Symmetrical access which offers committed speeds provided for customers with business critical voice and data applications that demand high performance and consistent service, and
• Asymmetrical access which offers high download, but non-committed speeds for customers that operate mainly internet data or non-critical WAN traffic environments.

“Reliance on high speed broadband access is only going to grow, whether for direct customer interactions or real-time collaboration across geographies and organisations. Our customers can have full confidence in these transformative new networks, and we will continue to roll out products supported by this new access,” Mr Paitaridis said. Optus Evolve over NBN access is available now for enterprise and government customers and includes IP-based Virtual Private Networks, internet, direct line and voice services.  Optus Evolve is available to Optus Business customers across a wide national footprint of existing Optus infrastructure and NBN service areas.   Media contacts Gabrielle Crittenden / Steve Batten Optus Corporate Affairs T: (02) 8082 8795 Mihika Gujral / Wendy Ko Text100 Public Relations T: (02) 9956 5733 E: sydneyoptusteam@text100.com.au
