Telstra Signs With Ava Risk Group For Cable Monitoring.
Telstra Signs With Ava – Australia’s biggest telco has signed a 2-year contract with Ava Risk Group for monitoring the physical security of large parts of its vast fibre network.
The confirmation of the Telstra supply agreement (TSA) follows 10 months of close collaboration including product trials with Telstra and its customers.
In the lead-up to the signing of the TSA, Ava successfully completed trials including monitoring of its urban fibre network in metropolitan Melbourne and the subsea fibre cables off the Port of Darwin.
Ava’s fibre sensing technology provides continual monitoring and asset protection for the Telstra network, helping to protect it against potential fibre cable strikes and other risks.
An initial area of commercial focus will be on the fibre optic assets of Telstra InfraCo, which is responsible for 250,000km of fibre optic cable, 8,200 mobile towers, 10,000 exchanges, 2 data centres and access to 400,000km of subsea cable.
