NSW fire trucks get high-speed data anytime, anywhere with Australian technology

The New South Wales Rural Fire Service (RFS) has announced a three-year rollout of cutting-edge Vehicle-as-a-Node (VaaN) equipment in 5,000 firefighting vehicles – using technology powered by Hypha.

In May 2024, Hypha signed a multi-stage Master Services Agreement with RFS for the supply of Starlink hardware and services to the project. With the first project stage completed, Hypha looks forward to making further project announcements with the Rural Fire Service.

“Hypha is delighted to be working with NSW Rural Fire Service to equip rural firefighters with state-of-the-art communications for anywhere, anytime communications,” says Neil Jamieson, CEO of Hypha Group.

Hypha is one of Australia’s leading Starlink partners, and its innovative Vehicle-as-a-Node technology is an evolution in mission-critical communications for public safety.

The company has seen major growth since its founding in 2015. It has secured agreements to supply integrated satellite communications solutions to government organisations and emergency services across Australia and the United States.
