Technical Review
The p a tented W angle o p timisation algorithm s , network infrastructure and mobile Applic a tions remain at the c o re of the W angle tec h nology off e ring, with t he current iOS and Androi d mobile V PN App p roducts now delive r ing increasing mobil e internet speeds, improv e d data sa v ings and greater net w ork securit y .
In add i tion the 2 0 16 design a tion as a Carrier Service Provi d er ( CSP ) a nd subsequent reengine e ring of th e platform to enable complian c e with Au s tralian Communicati o ns and Media A uthority ( ACMA ) and Communi c ations Ac c ess Coordinator ( CAC ) requirements has added network m onitoring, data ca p ture and analysis c a pabilities that incre a se the comm e rcial oppo r tunities av a ilable to t h e Company.
This co m bination o f a best in class VPN network c o mbined with data c a pture and analysis capabilities crea t es an opportunity f or Wangl e to mov e beyond being a network infrastr u cture busi n ess only, a n d towards data-driven business m odels whi c h include network behavi o ural analy s is and real - time monit o ring of ne t work usag e .
Over t h e third financial qu a rter of FY17 the Co m pany has diligently t ested the Wangle networ k layer and VPN appli c ations to e n sure this f o undation l e vel of tec h nology is o p timised with a k ey focus o n speed, security and s calability.
As well as continued inte r nal testin g , the Co m pany als o engage d the ser v ices of Pricew a terhouseCoopers ( PwC ) to und e rtake ind e pendent a ssurance t esting of t he VPN networ k , with resu l ts now pu b lished con f irming spe e ds up to t w ice as fas t as Open V PN and with dr a matic imp r ovements i n data tra n smission speeds.
Commercial Product Strategy
Whilst p revious c o mmercial focus has centred o n custome r acquisitio n and sub s cription models for the W a ngle VPN m obile App specificall y , the Com p any has determined that the Wangl e VPN net w ork is a st r ong core f oundation on which to build m ultiple co m mercial verticals. With the addition of advance d network data capt u re and a n alytics ca p abilities, the W a ngle netw o rk now of f ers a uniq u e feature set to hel p realise th e true co m mercial value o f the technology.
These v erticals, a s detailed b elow, not only repre s ent a line a r path of product e v olution, resource focus a n d technic a l develop m ent whic h will enabl e the Co m pany to b u ild and launch multiple re v enue stre a ms over th e next 12 m onths, but also demo n strate reu s e of the Comp a ny’s main technolog y to offset o perational expenses across mu l tiple prod u cts and revenu e streams.
