Case studies
Fugro shares the benefits of leasing in a Telstra Fixed Network Site
Telstra InfraCo provides Fugro with leased space in a Fixed Network Site in the centre of Perth from where Fugro conducts its remote operations – piloting vessels at sea which are thousands of kilometres away. The highly redundant, well networked, and secure site provides Fugro with the confidence it needs to conduct its world leading remote management services.

Mark Wilson voiceover: The remote operations centre here within the Telstra building enables us to provide assurance for our clients that we’re operating on a 24/7 basis, without the risk of losing connectivity, which is the most important thing for us when we’re operating remote assets that are totally uncrewed.

Stefan Haliczenko voiceover: Fugro Australia’s core business varies from providing geodata to construction, offshore oil and gas, the renewables market and we’re moving into the space industry as well.

Mark Wilson voiceover: We’ve worked with Telstra InfraCo for a number of years. Previously, we were based out of the Gnangara Centre. We’ve moved here now into the Telstra Exchange Centre in the centre of Perth, which offers a much more accessible location for our staff to be operating the assets remotely.
Stefan Haliczenko voiceover: We’re looking at the bridge of the vessel – 2,000 kilometres away from where the vessel is actually located, on the northwest shelf. So, at the moment, these pictures are all live – we’ve got about 16 channels of video coming in from the vessel. We’ve got three cameras onboard the underwater vehicle plus the other sensor payload that’s on it at the moment. Our risk tolerance is as close to zero as possible. The last thing we want to do is lose a vessel, so being at a facility like this provides us the redundancy, the power, the communication systems and security and a central location for our staff.

Alison Holton voiceover: Telstra InfraCo has many buildings across Australia that are ideally suited to the types of tenants that are looking for an office area, a secure data centre space, they could be a remote operations centre, or even a cyber security operating centre. They have low latency connectivity, they’re highly secure and we have power of resilience already in place for our building services.

Stefan Haliczenko voiceover: We didn’t look elsewhere. Telstra provided us ‘yes’ answers all along the way. They have been a great partner in the sense that they were the ones who were able to provide us with the communications and no one else has the same facilities and infrastructure.
Footage: Montage of Fugro operations on land, at sea and in the control centre. Cut back to Mark.
Mark Wilson voiceover: The benefits for both Fugro and Telstra, having us located in the remote operations centre are already coming to fruition, where you see other government agencies moving into this building. We’re also looking at expanding our operations given the business need.
