At a ceremony held at the Auckland Hilton today, OnKor™—Kordia’s fully managed IP network solution—received an award for the Most Innovative Telecom Service or Application in New Zealand 2010.
Kordia Solutions, Australia’s leading telecommunications engineering specialist, along with partner, Downer EDI Ltd, have been selected by NBN Co to participate in the Townsville based First Release Pilot Site design project.
Kordia CEO Geoff Hunt is welcoming the initiative from Xero boss Rod Drury to build a high-capacity undersea fibre cable connecting New Zealand, Australia and the USA.
Kordia has posted a solid half year profit with a net profit after tax (NPAT) of $1m, (unaudited), against a full year budget of $1.3m. This compares with an NPAT loss of $4.4m for the same period to December 08.
Auckland-based telecommunications company Orcon is helping to steer an attempt by Shaun Quincey to emulate his father’s feat of rowing single-handed across ‘The Ditch’.
Orcon customers are going to enjoy a great summer of video entertainment with the announcement that YouTube traffic from the ISP is zero rated until the end of January 2010.
