DyCom Wireless Solutions was created on the 1st of March 2010 with the merging of Jas Broadband Pty Ltd and the DyCom Wireless Division. Jas Broadband (formerly CCS Communications) involvement in fixed licensed radio links dates back to the early 1980’s. Both organisations have been delivering and supporting complementary multivendor wireless solutions for over 20 years. During this long period of time each evolved and adapted to new technologies and applications.
The DyCom Wireless Solutions team continues to work closely with our ecosystem of Application Partners, Technology Partners, Regional Support Partners and Network Construction Partners thereby enabling us to deliver business focused solutions to our broad and widely located customer base. Our wireless solutions enable IP devices, people and their organisations to better communicate between their different physical locations and allow secure high performance access to the corporate network. They help organisations create new applications, processes and platforms and typically deliver a return on investment measured in months not years
DyCom Wireless serves 100+ clients with lasting agreements, spanning government, education, health, manufacturing, and retail sectors across Victoria and beyond, ensuring secure, state-wide connectivity.
We design our solutions based on products from some of today’s leading wireless equipment manufacturers. They are our trusted Technology Partners and a key aspect of our business. We choose these partners due to their excellent track record and their commitment to constant innovation.
Their products offer unmatched carrier class functionality, reliability and management capability and thus deliver a high level of customer satisfaction, low business risk and a clear migration path.
