- Global Edge launched internationally with major telco contracts
- Spark and ViewQwest onboarded at launch week

International Telco Contracts Propel Revenue Growth
Activeport Group Ltd (ASX:ATV) has taken its Global Edge network connectivity platform global, signing contracts with New Zealand’s Spark and Singapore’s ViewQwest during launch week. These deals mark a pivotal moment for Activeport’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offering, which is expected to drive at least a $2 million increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by the end of FY27 and surge beyond $6 million in FY28.
The platform’s appeal lies in its ability to automate pricing, ordering, provisioning, and management of Australian network services for international carriers. With nationwide NBN coverage integrated, Global Edge simplifies access to Australian connectivity, positioning itself as the go-to portal for global telcos seeking efficient network service delivery.
Expanding Product Suite Promises Further Growth
Activeport is not resting on these initial wins. The company plans to broaden its product range on the Global Edge platform to include cloud on-ramps, datacentre connectivity, managed firewalls, and AI gateways. These additions aim to enhance the value proposition for carriers, unlocking further revenue streams and deepening service integration.
Michael Glynn, Activeport’s Chief Commercial & Operating Officer, emphasised the platform’s transformative potential: "Global Edge changes the way Australian network services are bought and we’re taking it to the world. Signing two major international carriers in launch week tells us the demand is real." Glynn highlighted the platform’s real-time network management capabilities, which leverage Activeport’s proprietary software tools to meet global communications needs.
Strategic Positioning in a Competitive Market
Activeport’s move comes amid a broader push to capitalise on growing demand for automated, scalable network services. The company’s international expansion aligns with recent developments in AI and cloud infrastructure, areas where Activeport has been active through partnerships and product launches. This strategic positioning could help the company capture a larger share of the global telecommunications software market.
While the revenue projections indicate promising growth, they depend on successful product rollouts and continued adoption by international carriers. Monitoring subsequent contract announcements and quarterly revenue updates will be key to assessing whether Activeport can sustain this momentum.
Bottom Line?
Activeport’s Global Edge platform launch and initial contracts signal a promising revenue trajectory, but execution on new product rollouts will be critical to unlocking full growth potential.
Questions in the middle?
- How quickly can Activeport scale Global Edge adoption across other international carriers?
- What impact will new products like AI gateways have on recurring revenue beyond FY28?
- Will Activeport maintain competitive differentiation as more telcos seek automated network services?
