Pentanet Limited (ASX:5GG) has achieved a significant milestone today with the commercial launch of neXus, the Company’s next-generation intelligent mesh wireless network for Perth.
Pentanet’s neXus, exclusive to Pentanet, delivers an ultra high-speed wireless internet connection through the air using an innovative mesh technology.
To date, the Operation neXus campaign has generated over 11,000 registrations of interest from people in the community keen to become part of the network. The expression of interest phase was used to determine areas of demand and lay the foundation for scaling coverage density across the Perth metro area. The Pentanet field team is continuing the targeted infrastructure rollout with neXus now available in Aveley, Ellenbrook, Osborne Park, Doubleview, Wangara, Pearsall, Nollamara, Yokine, Canning Vale, Padbury, Glendalough, Woodlands, Innaloo Scarborough, and Duncraig. In addition, Wanneroo, Balcatta, Stirling, Trigg, Morley, and Mindarie are anticipated to go live by end July 2022.
Pentanet has launched the premium Hell Fast plan offering for neXus, with unlocked speeds and unlimited data for $129 per month on a 12-month contract with a $0 installation fee and a Wi-Fi 6 Prism Edge router. To celebrate the official launch of neXus, the $129 Hell Fast plan will be available for just $99 per month, and customers can lock in this price for the lifetime of their neXus service. This offer will only be available for a limited time.
Pentanet Managing Director, Mr Stephen Cornish, said, “It’s taken us a significant amount of time and engineering resources to develop the technology into a product that can be commercialised at scale. But we said we would, and here it is - Pentanet doing Pentanet things. We believe the neXus technology will be disruptive to telecommunications and, after much research and deliberation, we have landed on an early adoption price point that we feel will also be disruptive and generate the growth in demand needed to support further expansion of existing coverage.”
