“In the second quarter Axia intends to respond to an RFP for a Next Generation Network initiative in Australia,” the company said.
“Axia’s solutions in Alberta, France and Singapore are directly applicable to the challenges that the Commonwealth faces in transitioning Australia to a modern telecom infrastructure.
“Any solution for Australia will depend upon utilising functional capital markets,” the firm said.
The announcement could potentially bring to four the number of bidders for the next-generation broadband network.
