Key Benefits of Rural Wireless For Business

Primo Rural Business Wireless links are high quality with a low latency.

You get speed, performance, and reliability all rolled into one service.

Improved Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity across multiple sites.

Improved information sharing, and tools across multiple sites.

Cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) applications.

IP telephony to deliver improved integration of voice communications.

High definition video conferencing across multiple sites/companies.

One free fixed/static IPv4 IP address for servers, VPN’s, etc.

Connection Performance

Actual user speeds will vary and are affected by various factors including the hardware and software used, number of devices, time of day, and where the data is coming from.

In order to get the best performance out of your Primo Fibre connection, we recommend;

A quality modem that is capable of supporting ultrafast speeds, such as the business grade ones provided by Primo for fibre connections.

A high-spec laptop or PC, running the latest operating system with all drivers up to date.

For optimum speeds cabling directly to your modem with an ethernet cable is better than Wi-Fi, which can have a large impact on speed.

The Equipment

All equipment supplied to you during the installation remains either the property of PrimoWireless Ltd or the Local Fibre Company (LFC).

Primo gear supplied may be pre-loved, this is our way to reduce, reuse and recycle.

The router supplied remains the property of Primo. Primo will manage the router, and configuration changes can only be performed by Primo.

Primo will supply a replacement if your router fails unless you are found to be at fault, in which case you will be charged for the replacement.

A $199 (excl GST) charge will be added to your final account if your router is not returned within 14 days should you choose to disconnect from Primo.

Connectivity across multiple sites

By using direct point to point links such as dark fibre and/or wireless to connect offices, sites and farm buildings, business can run one network in multiple locations. More advanced options like Layer 2 Tunneling or Layer 3 Fabric can be designed and implemented by our Network Engineers and tailored to your requirements.

Business connections also come with one free static IPv4 allowing for hosting of services such as email servers and VPN concentrators. Additional IP addresses are available to allow you to host more of these services.

We supply and manage business grade routers to improve connection management ensuring a consistent service experience for your business.
