A trusted tech advisor – not just a telco

From day one, The Telco Collective has had a clear vision of their value proposition and market position. Managing Director, Michael Hall, explains:

‍“During my time as Channel Director for a major Australian mobile operator, I recognised the need to be carrier agnostic. This means prioritising the best solution for the customer, not just what the company offered. This core principle laid the foundation for the Telco Collective.”
‍

Drawing on deep telecom industry experience, they are also very discerning about their communication product suite. They take pride in delivering a comprehensive suite of telco offerings, including hosted telephony, mobile solutions as well as nbn and fibre.

The Telco Collective also offers an extensive range of business technology solutions for cybersecurity, remote access, and managed IT.  

A key piece in executing this strategy is specialising in delivering leading technologies from around the world – including Fortinet, Samsung Knox and Cisco Webex.

Best-of-breed business mobility with Telcoinbox

Mobility is a key offering for The Telco Collective. In 2020 they made the decision to expand into this burgeoning market, seeing it as complementary product and high-demand opportunity.

After a thorough review of the Australian wholesale market, The Telco Collective selected Telcoinabox as their Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) enablement partner.  

‍
True to their philosophy of selecting best-of-breed vendors, Telcoinabox stood out for providing mobile coverage on the trusted Telstra Wholesale network. The coverage, features, and quality of this mobile network were – and remain – market leading.

In addition, Telcoinabox delivered this mobile solution with the ability to manage and activate mobile services digitally, through their service provider portal. This underpins fast and efficient customer service. Managing Director, Michael Hall, explains:  

“Our ability to service our mobile customers via the Octane activation and management system was one of the most attractive elements.
It has exceeded our initial expectations and continues to be developed, ensuring our ability to support our customers and their needs in real time is always available. It really does make a difference.”

Beyond MVNO

Business mobility remains a central focus for The Telco Collective. In addition to leveraging the MVNO capabilities enabled by Telcoinabox, they are accredited Samsung Knox specialists, delivering comprehensive and secure Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions

Looking ahead, The Telco Collective expect to see rapid evolution of the telecom and mobile market. However, they believe they are well positioned to capitalise on these shifts, backed by proven wholesale suppliers like Telcoinabox.
