Aussie Broadband to power Cricket Australia for the next three years

Aussie Broadband is proud to announce that it will be the Official Telecommunications Partner for Cricket Australia (CA) for the next three years.   

With shared values of high performance, excellence and reliability, Aussie Broadband’s partnership will extend to the Men’s and Women’s national teams, including at-match signage and activations across international cricket.    

Renowned for high-speed internet and reliable service, Aussie Broadband will also deliver a fully managed Secure SD-WAN solution backed by our Aussie Fibre, in collaboration with Fortinet, direct to all CA offices and sites across the country.    

This solution will provide CA with centralised visibility, intelligent traffic prioritisation and advanced firewall protection to form a resilient foundation capable of supporting seamless, secure connectivity for Australian Cricket’s national network.   

Aussie Broadband will also modernise and streamline Cricket Australia’s communications with the addition of Microsoft Teams Calling for their workforce and external partners, allowing for faster collaboration and simpler IT management.   

Cricket is embedded in the Aussie culture and across the next three years Aussie Broadband will work closely with CA to deliver meaningful community impact initiatives including the Grassroots Technology fund, greater technology access for community cricket clubs, and the championing cricket’s unsung heroes through the sponsorship of a National Community Cricket Award.
