bigairAirspan Networks has scored a contract with Australian WiMAX network operator, BigAir Group. The two companies have worked together for a few years now on the WiMAX network, but this latest contract will see Airspan expand BigAir’s WiMAX network in the Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Adelaide areas.

Jason Ashton, CEO of BigAir made these comments:

BigAir has been very successful in serving our customer base…We own and operate Australia’s largest fixed wireless next-generation broadband network which now covers the six largest cities in Australia. Utilizing Airspan’s solution allows us to offer our customers higher speed, greater reliability and lower-cost broadband services.

No financial or timeline details have been released, but I’ll keep an ear to the ground for more news as it becomes available. For more details, hit up BigAir.
