Kentrox (News - Alert), Inc., a provider of site monitoring management, has expanded its operations in Australia and created AccessTel Kentrox Australia (AKA) Pty Ltd.

AKA is a joint venture between Kentrox and longstanding partner AccessTel Pty Ltd with its headquarters in Melbourne, Australia, providing site management solutions and service offerings to service providers nationwide.

“During the last five years, we have seen considerable growth in our activities with service providers throughout Australia due to more mobile subscribers, increased service offerings, and the creation of a national broadband network,” said Rich Cremona, president and chief executive officer of Kentrox, in a statement.

Cremona said that creating AccessTel Kentrox Australia was a natural step to offer the best site management solutions and services nationwide.

“We already have hundreds of sites in Australia using Kentrox products, and having a local presence will enable us to help service providers, whether in telecommunications, utilities, or other industries, improve their networks while reducing operating costs,” he said.

“We are excited about the formation of AccessTel Kentrox Australia,” said Danie Blom, managing director for AccessTel.

Blom said that the company has been partners with Kentrox for more than ten years and embrace their solutions because of the quality and high reliability of their products, their innovative site management system, and their focus on customer requirements.

“Our local team of experts allows us to deliver the necessary services to customers throughout Australia. This helps us efficiently meet their site management needs, such as power and microwave management, security, environmental management, LTE (News - Alert) implementations, and much more,” he said.

In May, TMCnet reported that Kentrox announced that it has expanded its presence in Africa and now has a new office in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Kentrox South Africa is committed to the objectives of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), an adopted initiative of the South African government aimed at promoting economic transformation in order to enable meaningful participation of black people in the economy.
