Alphawest, a leading IT Services provider to the government, legal, educational and business sectors, has entered into a strategic partnership with Wavelink Communications Pty Ltd – an Australian company specialising in the supply and support of a range of digital wireless voice and messaging solutions.

Wavelink is the exclusive Australian distributor of a range of products from Kirk Telecom A/S (Denmark), Blick Communications (UK) and DeTeWe AG (Germany).

Alphawest places significant national focus on delivering IP Communications solutions and services with its strategy to position itself as one of the key partners in emerging technologies such as IP Telephony and IP Communications in Australia.  Wavelink complements that strategy offering solutions that include wireless systems that attach to any telephony platform. These solutions are scalable and can address the needs of large sites such as offices, warehouses or constructions sites, as well as SOHO users. Wireless telephone systems are also an ideal solution for sites where cabling is expensive or prohibited – such as within heritage buildings.   

Alphawest’s CEO Garry Henley said, “The agreement between Alphawest and Wavelink Communications strengthens the range of wireline, wireless and VoIP telecommunications solutions and supports our strategy.  In particular, we plan to jointly address the growing demand for the assessment, design, development and deployment of robust, cost-effective VoIP solutions.  The agreement ensures our customers are able to source a broad range of IP appliances and services working with Alphawest.”

Wavelink Director, Ilan Rubin, said, “Our recently released lineup of KIRK products give corporate VoIP users the freedom of wireless voice using DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology, enabling Alphawest and Wavelink to deliver the highly desirable combination of mobility on a cost-effective network. Wavelink has over six years experience distributing KIRK DECT solutions, delivering stable technology that has a proven track record to more than 2,750 sites in Australia and New Zealand.”

KIRK Telecom is a global AVVID partner of Cisco. Alphawest was selected as the Cisco Gold Partner of the Year – Australia and New Zealand in 2004.
