Delivering communications you can rely on.

Secure & highly available communication systems leveraging the Vocus network

With Vocus as a partner, you’ll have the resilience to respond when it is most critical.

Defence communications simply can’t fail. They need to run over a secure fibre network with an exceptional record of providing the capacity, performance and resilience to meet the most stringent mission requirements.

With Vocus’ high-capacity fibre network, you’ll have peace of mind that your critical communications systems are working at all times. You can carry out operations and tasks as planned and make sure information reaches the right people at the right time. And since Vocus’ fibre networks are built to provide greater security for government users, you can be rest assured that threats to your communications will be mitigated.
