WAN solutions
in Australia
Secure, scalable networks for every business.
What is WAN?
A Wide Area Network (WAN) securely connects offices, sites, and users across multiple locations.
Whether it’s two offices in Auckland and Sydney or dozens of sites across New Zealand and Australia, a WAN ensures your teams can share data, applications, and communications reliably - without the complexity of managing it all in-house.
With Lightwire, you get access to more circuit types in more places, 24/7 proactive monitoring, and network designs built to fit your needs.
