Optus has announced it has been awarded a new five-year, $60 million contract with Suretek for the delivery of fixed network and high-speed mobile services in the Asia-Pacific region.

Suretek is a specialist provider of security solutions including wireless alarm communications, remote video-monitoring and redundancy solutions.

As part of the agreement, Suretek will port its Secredia/Secrue Call 1345 Service for alarm transmissions onto the Optus network, while further plans will see the transition of these services to a full wireless model.

Glenn Smith, Managing Director of Suretek said, “We chose to align Suretek with Optus Business in order to support our growth and expand our product offerings. Optus’ strong focus and ongoing investment in superfast 4G technologies also provides us with the ideal platform to advance the electronic security industry into the IP era.”

“Our core value proposition is ensuring our services maintain the level of security and availability that our customers expect. Partnering with Optus Business is crucial for us in meeting this promise to them,” Glenn Smith continued. “Today’s announcement reinforces our strategy to increase Suretek’s exposure to new markets, opening up possibilities for our customers, resellers and partners now and in the future.”
