Kordia has been awarded a contract worth $117 million to offer a communications network for the massive $29 billion APLNG (Australia Pacific Liquefied Natural Gas) coal seam gas project in Queensland.
The two-year venture will see the state-owned enterprise build a fixed and wireless network covering 100,000 square kilometres.
APLNG is a joint venture between Origin Energy, ConocoPhillips and China Petrochemical Corp. They gave final sanction for the energy project in July.
According to Kordia, it would design and construct a private network incorporating a microwave backbone, mobile voice, broadband wireless, PABXs, radio telemetry and local and wide area networks across the “largely greenfield lease area†with links back to a control centre in Brisbane.
Kordia Solution Australia managing director Peter Robson said: “Kordia is looking forward to extending our extensive infrastructure experience in the telecommunications sector into a resources industry looking for innovation and best of breed solutions.â€
The firm stated earlier in August that it was experiencing considerable growth in Australia and was looking at \"funding opportunities\" to sustain its growth there, sparking speculation - denied by Kordia - that it might be for sale.
