Agile Communications is a licensed national telecommunications carrier based in South Australia and was the first South Australian based company to gain this license. The company is a sister company to Internet service provider Internode. The company was founded by Managing Director Simon Hackett and is based in Adelaide.
In May 2001, Agile built The Coorong Network, a Microwave network interlinking Adelaide, Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Binnies Hill, Tintinara and Meningie using Cisco based hardware. This network uses Cisco AS5400 Universal Port Hardware capable of VoIP and broadband from the same hardware.
In October 2003, Agile installed its own equipment in the Telstra Exchange at Meningie, South Australia to provide ADSL to a town where Telstra was yet to provide Broadband ADSL. This made it the first exchange in Australia where ADSL was available, but not through Telstra.
In late 2003, Agile began a rollout of a national network, an Optic Fibre based IP network running on STM-1 Packet over Sonet(POS) Links to Connect all Agile POPs across Australia. The national network currently extends to 2 points of presence in Adelaide and Melbourne, 3 in Brisbane, 5 in Sydney and 1 in Perth, Canberra and Hobart. In 2005, Agile extended their national network to the US with 2 points of presence: 1 in Los Angeles and 1 in San Jose.
Currently Telstra (the dominant telecommunications provider in Australia) is delegating whether or not to implement a plan which would see FTTN (Fibre To The Node) become a reality. The dynamics of this proposal is such that it could render Internode's investment in its own equipment redundant. It is not surprising, therefore, that Internode along with other telecommunication providers are opposing this proposal.
