About us
Lynham Networks started in 2014 as a grassroots effort to improve internet access for local communities in Melbourne. Frustrated by limited options, a small, dedicated team launched a fixed-wireless solution that quickly gained strong community support. This success inspired us to grow beyond our beginnings, and today, we operate a nationwide network with over 400 sites across multiple states and territories.
As a Statutory Infrastructure Provider, we proudly run a wholesale open-access network that enables independent retail service providers and partners to deliver high-quality internet services across Australia. Our mission is to connect communities and empower our partners, all while fostering a collaborative and innovative culture.
If you're looking to join a passionate team with a clear purpose and ambitious growth plans, Lynham Networks offers a dynamic environment where your work directly impacts how Australians stay connected.
