Every minute counts in an emergency on the water.

When a boater is in trouble and needs help fast, Marine Rescue NSW relies on robust and stable communications to activate our crews to respond. Our operations also depend on secure digital access to keep our radio network and emergency systems on the air.

We work closely with Telstra and our account managers Exigo Tech Pty Ltd to ensure we have reliable networks so we can be certain we can call out our crews, answer boaters’ calls for help and access our online vessel tracking and other systems 24/7.

Members of Marine Rescue Middle Harbour last week welcomed Telstra Head of Business Customer Sales Kevin Teoh and Exigo Tech Sales Director Niten Devalia and their teams on board rescue vessel Middle Harbour 30, along with MRNSW State Director of Operations Andrew Cribb and IT Director Florian Glajcar, to demonstrate our rescue capability and our volunteers’ around-the-clock service to the community.

Under cloudy skies over Sydney Harbour, it was a great way for the tech company team members to learn more about MRNSW expertise, roles and responsibilities and how they can help support our mission to save lives on the water.
