Telstra Purple adds to IoT, network engineering capabilities with Alliance Automation and Aqura acquisitions
Telstra Purple announced it will acquire two leading Australian companies to bolster IoT capabilities and accelerate its industry vertical growth ambitions.
Alliance Automation is one of Australia’s largest independent providers of IoT industrial automation solutions and control systems. Founded in 2010, Alliance Automation is headquartered in Brisbane with several offices around Australia staffed by more than 250 engineers and consultants. It provides services in technical advisory and design, electrical and automation engineering, project management, site installation, business intelligence, operational technology cyber security and 24×7 support.
Aqura Technologies delivers key technology and telecommunications infrastructure solutions including industrial wireless, complete access networks, unified communications and industrial IoT. A wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed Veris, Aqura Technologies has more than 90 staff across Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne as well as a fly-in-fly-out workforce that services all parts of Australia.
Following the acquisitions, Telstra Purple will be able to offer professional and managed services capabilities to deliver industrial-grade wireless and fixed networks in remote and underground operations (Aqura Technologies), while expanding the potential for digital transformation services, industrial automation capabilities, digital twins, smart spaces and operational technology cyber security (Alliance Automation).
These acquisitions are expected to bolster Telstra Purple’s presence across mining, energy, oil and gas, utilities and defence projects, and increase its automation and digital transformation engagements. Alliance Automation and Aqura Technologies’ industrialised capabilities and solutions will also be valuable in adjacent industries including supply chain, agriculture and manufacturing. These strategic acquisitions will establish Telstra Purple as a leading IoT provider in Australia.
