Manufacturing

Our manufacturing customers don’t just require fixed and mobile telephone services. They demand high-speed mobile data services; they run large and complex enterprise systems across sophisticated data networks; they apply ever more sophisticated asset, vehicle and inventory tracking and management software across an array of devices, many of which have to operate in difficult environments.

Of course, these organisations do not operate in isolation from each other. They are all part of a wider supply chain - receiving input materials from raw materials suppliers and other manufacturers; and feeding their outputs to other manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.

This operating environment can be enhanced every day by a wide range of Telstra services, underpinned by the speed and coverage of our Next G® and Next IP® networks.

• Enhanced communication in the field between vehicles and operational centres
• Improved operational awareness, including in-vehicle and asset monitoring
• 99% population coverage
