Deal brings ARNI product range to Australia

Wavelink has signed a distribution agreement with AirBridge Networks to bring the AirBridge Rapid Network Infrastructure (ARNI) portfolio of rapidly deployable connectivity solutions to the Australian channel market.

ARNI encompasses a portfolio of portable tactical communications platforms, mobile command and control trailers, vehicle-mounted connectivity solutions and rapidly deployable satellite-enabled networking systems. Designed for mission-critical environments, the products provide communications capabilities where traditional network infrastructure is unavailable, disrupted or impractical to deploy.

Under the agreement, Wavelink will distribute the ARNI product range through the Australian channel. The portfolio is suitable for partners selling into government, emergency services, defence, critical infrastructure, utilities, mining, construction and remote operations.

“This partnership represents an important addition to Wavelink’s infrastructure and critical communications portfolio,” said Ilan Rubin, CEO of Wavelink.

“Partnering with AirBridge Networks reflects the evolution of Wavelink’s strategy from technology distribution to solution-led enablement. ARNI is far more than a connectivity platform. It supports a broad range of mission-critical use cases. By combining ARNI with technologies from across its vendor portfolio, Wavelink can help partners deliver complete solutions that address real operational challenges. Wavelink is excited to work with the AirBridge team and its channel ecosystem to create new opportunities and bring these capabilities to organisations across Australia.”

Douglas Stephens, chief executive of AirBridge Networks, said, “The appointment of Wavelink will accelerate ARNI’s reach into key Australian markets.

“ARNI was designed around a simple principle: when communications are mission-critical, failure is not an option. Airbridge Networks’ partnership with Wavelink provides the scale and reach to bring this capability to more Australian organisations that require resilient, rapidly deployable connectivity. Airbridge Networks looks forward to working closely with the Wavelink team and channel community to support customers operating in some of Australia’s most challenging environments.”

The distribution agreement is effective immediately, with the ARNI portfolio now available to Wavelink partners across Australia. For more information, visit the website.
