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
Do you offer mobile SIMs for fleet tracking devices?
Yes. We provide business mobile SIM plans on the Telstra wholesale network, suitable for GPS tracking units, in-cab tablets, driver smartphones, and IoT devices. We offer data-only SIMs for tracking devices as well as full voice and data plans for driver handsets. All managed on your single Summit account.
How does 4G backup work for our dispatch systems?
We install a 4G backup unit alongside your primary internet connection. If the primary link fails, the backup activates automatically within seconds, routing your traffic over the 4G mobile network. Your dispatch system, TMS, and warehouse management software stay online. When the primary connection is restored, traffic switches back automatically.
Can you connect multiple depots and our head office on one account?
Absolutely. We specialise in multi-site business connectivity. Whether you have two depots or twenty, we can connect each location with the most appropriate technology — fixed wireless, NBN, fibre, or 4G — and manage it all under a single account with one bill and one support contact. Our MPLS service can also create a secure private network between all your sites.
What about Chain of Responsibility compliance — does connectivity affect that?
It does. Chain of Responsibility requires verifiable electronic records for fatigue management, vehicle maintenance, and load management. If your connectivity drops out and your systems cannot log compliance data, you have gaps in your records. Summit's 4G backup ensures your compliance systems stay online, and our mobile SIMs keep your in-vehicle compliance logging connected on the road.
How quickly can you get a new depot connected?
For fixed wireless installations within our coverage area, we can typically have your new depot online within 10 business days. If we do not meet that timeframe, your first month is on us. For urgent requirements, 4G with Static IP can often provide interim connectivity within days while a permanent fixed wireless or fibre connection is being installed.

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.
Local Support That Gets It
When your dispatch system goes offline at 7am, you do not have time to sit on hold with an offshore call centre explaining what a TMS is. Summit’s Melbourne-based support team understands business-critical connectivity. Call 1300 049 749 and speak to someone local who can get your operation moving again.

Summit Internet has been connecting Melbourne businesses since 2000. We hold ACMA Carrier Licence #388 — we own and operate our own network infrastructure. That means when there is a problem, we fix it ourselves. No waiting for a third party. No blame-shifting between providers.
