The scope of the engagement will see Aqura’s in-house specialists provide remote and field-based support to ensure the efficient operation and upgrades of the end clients Video Entertainment System (VES), network distribution and Wi-Fi networks. In addition, the Managed Services Agreement will see Aqura providing large scale Managed Wi-Fi, Distribution networks (Fibre-optic & DOCSIS), MATV (free to air TV) and Network management platforms which integrate to provide a seamless, and positive user experience.
Aqura Technologies CEO, Travis Young, commented:
“This engagement is a significant recognition of Aqura's capability and specialist skill-set in the management of the efficient operation of large-scale content access networks in remote areas.”
"This new engagement is a great endorsement of the expertise of our Australian-based, in-house engineering and field-based operational teams to ensure the village entertainment systems and networks of our customers operate reliably – day or night.
“The management of 31,000 accommodation rooms across multiple villages, for a range of end-clients, is a unique position for an Australian business. It is a great reflection of the strength of our in-house product development teams that have developed the technology that enables the optimisation of an in-room end-user complete content access experience remotely" said Mr Young.

Aqura’s complete content access network technology enables ease of choice for employees in remote settings to bring their own content and communication apps and enjoy a consistently high-quality experience."
The agreement will commence immediately.
