This STEPtember, the BAI team went the extra mile! We stepped, walked, marched, skipped, and ran to support people living with cerebral palsy and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. With 30 teams on board, each participant averaged an incredible 300,000 steps, and one superstar came close to hitting a staggering 1 million steps! Together, we achieved an astonishing 31,235,312 steps and raised vital funds along the way. To amplify our impact, BAI is matching all donations made by our team. STEPtember is Australia’s most inclusive virtual health and well-being fundraising challenge, empowering participants to help create a world of opportunities for people living with cerebral palsy. Deborah Bodger, Account Director, Critical Communications, shared: "What a great challenge to fundraise and build a walking habit! I might not have made it into the Top 10 Steppers, but I managed at least 10,000 steps daily — something I’m inspired to continue as a lifestyle habit." Ready to take on the challenge?

We recently participated in MilCIS 2024, Australia’s premier event focusing on topics around military communications and information systems. This annual gathering brought together leaders from government, defence, and industry to explore cutting-edge technologies and their role in mission-critical environments. Our experts, including John Radge and Daniel Lawrence, engaged in meaningful conversations about the sector’s communications challenges and the innovations addressing them. Key themes like cybersecurity, AI, and satellite connectivity dominated the agenda, reflecting the evolving needs of defence operations. John Radge: “It was amazing to see firsthand the extensive use cases for private mobile networks (PMN) used in defence from small footprint PMNs, used in drones and backpacks, to COW’s (cell on wheels) for use on the front line.” We were excited to share how BAI’s private mobile network solutions deliver the reliability, security, and efficiency essential for defence applications. By enabling seamless, secure communications, our technology supports operational resilience in even the most demanding scenarios. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with industry and defence stakeholders to drive innovation in this critical sector.

🛳️ Paving the way for the future ports Our Telecommunications Director Nick Gurney and Business Development Manager Daniel Lawrence recently attended the Ports Australia Conference, engaging with senior executives and directors of Australia’s major port operators. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders and discuss core issues shaping the future of port operations. Key takeaways: ✅ Driving collaboration: Port stakeholders highlighted the need for streamlined effective collaboration within the ecosystem. BAI’s Private Mobile Networks (PMN) provide the base for efficient integration along the supply chain, enabling real-time communication and data-sharing. ✅ Greener fuels and decarbonisation: The shift toward sustainable fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, was a major theme, with discussions around infrastructure challenges and potential timelines. ✅ Security at the forefront: As IT, OT, and physical security rise on the agenda, BAI's resilient network solutions ensure robust protection for critical port operations. ✅ Shared infrastructure to lower costs: High supply chain costs remain a competitiveness challenge for Australian ports. By leveraging shared infrastructure, we’re helping drive cost efficiencies, supporting a more resilient and sustainable industry. As BAI continues to innovate in digital communications infrastructure and private mobile networks, we are committed to supporting port operators and tenants with future-ready solutions that address these complex challenges and drive long-term resilience across the sector. “Attending the Ports Australia Conference was a valuable opportunity to connect with leaders across the port industry and gain insights into the critical challenges they’re facing. It’s clear that collaboration and innovation are key to creating more resilient, efficient port operations.” – Daniel Lawrence.

As part of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts' Broadcast Resilience Program (BRP), BAI is enhancing broadcast resilience across regional and remote sites hosting Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) local radio and emergency communications services. In support of the BRP, our team is installing gensets to provide standby power to selected sites across Australia. The gensets – stationary power supply sources that consist of an engine and a generator with automatic transfer switching - bring resilient standby power to the BAI network. With onboard fuel providing several days of runtime, surrounding communities will have access to broadcasts in case of a power failure during times of natural disaster. The devices also enable emergency services to communicate reliably and to coordinate relief efforts. The BAI team and our partners are working tirelessly behind the scenes to get the gensets ready for the upcoming emergency season, ensuring they are set up for optimal performance. Getting the calibration just right can make a big difference for efficiency during the life of the asset.
