Activeport adds NBN circuit provisioning into NaaS platform

Currently providing enterprise circuits through the Fibreconnx network in Sydney and Melbourne, Activeport Group has now integrated NBN circuit provisioning into its Global Edge network-as-a-service platform.

Introduced in June 2025, Global Edge delivers self-service connectivity via Fibreconx, an enterprise solution for linking CBD offices in Sydney and Melbourne to key colocation data centres.

The addition of NBN expands the platform’s scope, allowing customers to establish connections across the country

The new service utilises Managed Network’s NBN POI backhaul, underpinned by Superloop (and others’) fibre for connectivity to 121 points of presence, enabling nationwide service without additional capital investment or operational overhead for Activeport.

It also migrates Activeport’s 1,600 ISP customers from an off-net provider to Activeport’s on-net NBN, improving margins by 25% on $1.9 million in annual revenue, as well as linking Global Edge to Activeport’s Singapore Network-to-Network Interchange, enabling international telcos to procure circuits to any Australian destination.

Activeport Group chairman and CEO Peter Christie said comprehensive network access is essential to deliver a last mile service in Australia to its international carrier and data centre customers.

"We’ve accelerated deployment by leveraging Managed Networks’ NBN expertise, allowing us to increase revenue generation capacity on our Global Edge network, he said.

"Our goal is to position Global Edge as the premier solution for global telcos to acquire, integrate, and manage circuits between overseas origins and Australian destinations or vice versa. International operators often face challenges acquiring connectivity without strong local market knowledge; Global Edge addresses this by simplifying purchasing and automating network management.”
