Airwave welcomes new GM

Marc Colborne is the new general manager of Airwave Solutions Australia.

He joins from Airwave Solutions UK, where he has been involved in many aspects of the business, including network deployment and operations. He managed the delivery of the Airwave network to the southern regions of Britain, and a site resilience program for multiple agencies.

From 2007, he was also involved in improving the resilience of various elements of the British network, particularly the optimisation of the system for Airwave’s fire project. Following on from this, he began working with the international team to appraise how Airwave's service management expertise could benefit public sector communications requirements in other countries.

He sees the deployment of shared networks as crucial to ensure optimised communications between agencies and between separate elements of the same agency.
