Swoop scores $5m NBN deal with Orro

Fixed wireless and wholesale network infrastructure provider Swoop has secured a five-year contract — under the NodeOne brand — with network provider Orro Group worth more than $5m to provide NBN Enterprise Ethernet services across Western Australia. The rollout program is expected to be completed by the end of the first half FY22.

The solution will bring high-speed fibre connectivity to more than 150 locations all over WA utilising NodeOne’s direct connectivity to all 14 NBN Points of Interconnect (POIs) across the state.

Swoop CEO Alex West said NodeOne is the only WA-based retail service provider (RSP) with direct connectivity to all the NBN POIs.

David Povey, Managing Director at Orro WA, said, “We have been working closely with the team at NodeOne for the last 12 months on this opportunity and we have been impressed by the level of professionalism and knowledge that the NodeOne team has displayed. NodeOne has a large local presence in Perth and regional WA and this has been a big factor in choosing NodeOne as our preferred NBN Retail Service Provider to deliver this important contract.”

Coming on the back of its recent listing, this supports the positioning of the Swoop Group as a challenger telco able to offer large multi-site solutions, at competitive rates, yet still offer the local service and support to differentiate from the big telcos.
