Outside Education House, Brisbane (L-R Graeme Garnsey (Voice CPE Solutions, Telstra), Graham Eske (COO, TTGroup Communications), Bob Bishop (CEO, TTGroup Communications) and Colin MacDougall (National Sales Manager, Mitel))

In March 2011, TTGroup Communications signed the contract for the supply, delivery and installation of Internet Protocol (IP) telephony systems into the Department of Education and Training (DET) schools. DET has one of the largest computer networks in the southern hemisphere, with over 1,200 sites across Queensland.

DET schools were running separate systems for their computer and telephone networks. Using the latest technologies, it is now more cost-effective for DET to have a single IP communication network in place for both their computers and telephone systems.

In October 2010, DET released a public tender for the supply, delivery and installation of IP communications systems. TTGroup Communications was successful in securing this contract.

TTGroup is proud to be in partnership with Mitel who have proven quality, cost-effective solutions.

This contract has been enacted under GITC.

For more information regarding this contract please contact Graham Eske on (07) 3847 0350.

TTGroup answers SOS from Cruise Liner
Written by Kathleen Catchpole, 25th February 2011

TTGroup Communications’ Haydn Francis went all out to help Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL) ship the ‘Rhapsody of the Seas’ last weekend.

RCCL have Mitel SX2000 systems installed and are serviced by Mitel’s head office in Canada.

Their ship; the ‘Rhapsody of the Seas’ had been experiencing problems whilst sailing in the Pacific Ocean around Australia. They had just left Sydney and were on their way to Brisbane. Mitel believed an on-site visit was necessary to perform diagnostics and address any issues. Mitel Canada requested their office in Australia to find an SX2000 trained engineer to make the visit to the Rhapsody.

Australia has only three specialised SX2000 engineers able to solve the Rhapsody’s problems. Unfortunately two of the engineers; Wayne Phillips and Jeremy Thomas were located in Canberra and Perth respectively and unable to rendezvous with the ship in Brisbane.

Brisbane based TTGroup Communications, dispatched Haydn Francis to board from Flinders Island on Saturday. Luckily enough, Haydn had been part of the Mitel Product Support team in the UK that completed the system fit out when ‘Rhapsody of the Seas’ was dry-docked in Finland.

Once on board, Haydn was able to run system health checks and diagnostics. In addition, he helped solve other issues that the ship was experiencing with the Ships Master Clock Server and the Mitel Crafted Application Wake Up Server. Haydn then provided technical Mitel training to the Chief Electrical Engineer and the First Electrical Engineer.

Job successfully completed, Haydn disembarked in Cairns to fly home while ‘Rhapsody of the Seas’ continued on its way.

TTGroup is proud to be in partnership with Mitel and boasts some of Australia’s leading telecommunication experts. TTGroup Communications strives to provide unbeatable service, unique solutions and quality support to all customers.
