Every Missed Call Is a Missed Listing
From Depot to Driver, One Provider That Keeps You Moving
Your dispatch systems, fleet tracking, and warehouse operations depend on connectivity that never stops. Summit Internet delivers reliable depot internet, mobile SIMs for your fleet, and 4G backup that keeps your operation running — all from one provider, on one bill.
The Connectivity Challenge
Transport and logistics is an industry that never stands still — and neither can your connectivity. With 72% of Australian fleets now running GPS tracking, electronic proof of delivery replacing paper dockets, and Chain of Responsibility compliance demanding verifiable digital records, your business depends on reliable connections at every point in the supply chain. From the warehouse floor to the cab of every truck, a gap in connectivity means a gap in your operation.
The challenge is that transport businesses do not operate from a single, well-connected office. You have depots in industrial estates where NBN service is patchy at best. You have warehouses that need wall-to-wall WiFi for barcode scanners and tablets. You have a head office running your TMS and accounts. And you have drivers on the road who need mobile data for tracking, compliance logging, and proof of delivery. Most telco providers want to sell you an office internet plan — they do not understand that your ‘office’ is spread across multiple sites, multiple vehicles, and multiple cities.
Then there is the reliability question. When dispatch goes offline, trucks cannot be loaded and scheduled. When fleet tracking drops out, you lose visibility of your vehicles and your Chain of Responsibility compliance records have gaps. When a depot loses internet, warehouse management grinds to a halt. In an industry where margins are tight and every delay costs money, you need a provider who understands that connectivity is not a utility — it is the backbone of your operation.
How Summit Helps Transport & Logistics
Depot and Warehouse Connectivity That Actually Works
Many depots and warehouses sit in industrial areas where NBN infrastructure is poor or non-existent. Summit’s fixed wireless network covers 500+ suburbs across Melbourne, including the industrial corridors and outer-suburban zones where transport businesses operate. We can connect your depot with business-grade internet — often in locations where other providers simply cannot deliver reliable service. For sites outside our fixed wireless footprint, we offer Business NBN, Ethernet over Fibre, and 4G with Static IP to ensure every location is covered.
Mobile SIMs for Your Entire Fleet
From fleet tracking devices and driver smartphones to mobile broadband units in vehicles, Summit provides business mobile SIM plans on the Telstra wholesale network — giving your drivers the coverage they need across metro, regional, and interstate routes. Manage all your fleet SIMs alongside your depot internet and office phones on a single account, with one support team and one monthly bill. Whether you need a handful of SIMs for a small fleet or hundreds for a national operation, we scale with you.
4G Backup So Dispatch Never Goes Dark
Your dispatch system is the nerve centre of your operation. If it goes offline, nothing moves. Summit’s automatic 4G backup service detects a primary connection failure and switches to the mobile network within seconds — keeping your dispatch, warehouse management, and TMS systems online while the primary link is restored. Your team may not even notice the switchover, but they will certainly notice if it is not there.
Multi-Site Connectivity Under One Roof
Head office running your accounts and TMS. A distribution centre with warehouse management systems. Regional depots with scanning and dispatch. Summit connects all your sites on a single account with consistent service levels and coordinated support. Our MPLS private network service links your locations securely, so your systems talk to each other as if they were in the same building. One provider, one bill, one phone call when you need help.
4G with Static IP for Remote Monitoring
Need to monitor security cameras, access control, or environmental sensors at a remote depot or yard? Summit’s 4G with Static IP service gives you a fixed, addressable connection over the mobile network — perfect for sites where running a fixed internet service is impractical or unnecessary. Entry-level telematics and IoT connectivity starts from simple, cost-effective 4G SIM plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What upload speed do we need for property media?
It depends on your volume. A typical listing with 25 photos, a video walkthrough, and a virtual tour might total 2 to 3 gigabytes. On a 20 Mbps upload connection, that takes over 20 minutes. On a 100 Mbps symmetrical fixed wireless connection, it takes under 5 minutes. For offices processing multiple listings per day, the symmetrical upload speeds available on Summit's fixed wireless make a significant difference.
Can our agents use Summit mobile SIMs?
Absolutely. Summit's business mobile SIM plans provide voice and data on a national network. Your agents get reliable connectivity for CRM access, calls, and email while they're in the field. All mobile charges appear on the same bill as your office internet and phone services.
How does the hosted PBX work across multiple offices?
Summit's FlexPBX operates as a single, unified phone system regardless of how many offices you have. A caller dialling your 1300 number can be routed to the nearest office, the first available agent, or a specific department. Calls can be transferred between offices seamlessly. Each office and agent has their own extension, but to the caller, it all feels like one professional operation.
What happens if our internet goes down during a settlement?
Summit's 4G backup activates automatically when it detects a primary connection outage. Your CRM, email, phone system, and EFTPOS continue operating over the backup link. In a transaction-intensive business like real estate or finance, this automatic failover means you don't miss critical calls or lose access to documents during time-sensitive matters.
Is Summit suitable for mortgage brokers and financial planners?
Yes. Finance professionals need reliable internet for cloud-based CRM and compliance platforms, high-quality VoIP for client consultations, and the security of a static IP for encrypted connections. Summit's complete product suite addresses all of these requirements, and our hosted PBX gives sole practitioners and small firms the same professional call handling as larger operations.

One Provider for Everything
Most transport businesses end up with a patchwork of providers — one for depot internet, another for mobile SIMs, a third for the phone system. Summit delivers internet, voice, mobile, and backup across all your sites and vehicles from a single account. That means one support team who understands your whole operation, and one bill each month instead of five.
We Understand Industrial Locations
We have spent 25 years connecting businesses across Melbourne — including the warehouses, depots, and industrial estates where transport operators work. Our fixed wireless network was built for exactly these locations, where NBN infrastructure is often inadequate. We know how to connect your site, even when other providers cannot.
