What MIMP Connecting Solutions does

MIMP Connecting Solutions, legally MIMP Computer Cable Pty Ltd, is a privately held Australian communications infrastructure integrator founded in June 1985 by Doug Mackie and headquartered in Richmond, South Australia. The company specializes in the design, supply, installation, and 24/7 support of communications cabling and wireless networks, serving government, mining, healthcare, education, defence, and large corporate clients across all Australian states and territories. Its core offering is structured around four product lines: Network Design, Cabling (structured copper, fibre, and electrical), Wireless Installation (licensed and unlicensed microwave, mesh networks, CCTV wireless, and custom tower fabrication), and Client Support. Notable proprietary capabilities include Australia's first multicast mesh IP-based wireless network (deployed for NT Police in Darwin), mobile solar-powered microwave relay sites mounted on semi-trailers for temporary mining camps, and carrier-grade licensed millimetre-wave microwave links providing up to 1.25 Gbps throughput.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining project-based infrastructure work (large deployments such as the 480 km APLNG network across Queensland, the Darwin CCTV mesh, and SA Health hospital networks) with a smaller recurring subscription component through the GigCity gigabit broadband service. GigCity is co-funded and operated with the South Australian Government, delivering 1 Gbps wireless internet to businesses in Adelaide innovation precincts and regional centres including Whyalla and Mount Gambier at $49.90-$179.90 per month. MIMP reaches customers via enterprise field sales, government tenders, and referrals from technology partners such as Peplink (Gold Partner), Aviat Networks, Cisco, HP, and Vocus, with founder Doug Mackie and CEO Allan Aitchison actively involved in major client relationships. The company has been recognized with 10+ NECA SA/NT Excellence and National Awards since 2008, including 2024 awards for Innovation (Peak Iron Windy Valley) and Leaders in Diversity, and has completed hundreds of communications installations across Australia over its 40-year operating history.

• Telstra: Australia's largest telco with enterprise, government, mining and managed network services portfolios. Broad incumbent that increasingly competes in private networks and managed enterprise connectivity where MIMP specialises.
• NBN Co: Australia's wholesale broadband infrastructure operator rolling out fibre and fixed-wireless nationally. Comparable as a major Australian connectivity provider; long-term fibre expansion could partially substitute microwave-based private networks.

Direct peers

• Ceragon Networks: Global provider of wireless backhaul and fronthaul solutions including licensed microwave. Comparable in technology (microwave point-to-point) and customers (carriers, oil & gas, public safety).
• Cambium Networks: Provider of fixed wireless broadband, Wi-Fi and mesh networking equipment for enterprises and service providers. Comparable in offering unlicensed/managed wireless connectivity for industrial and remote deployments.
• RADWIN: Provider of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless broadband solutions for carriers, enterprises and governments. Comparable in targeting high-capacity wireless links for industrial and remote sites.
• Vertel: Australian telecommunications carrier specializing in private networks, microwave and managed connectivity for enterprise, government and utilities. Directly comparable in target customer (Australian enterprise/government) and product (private wireless networks, managed services).
• Aviat Networks: Manufacturer of carrier-grade licensed microwave radios used extensively across MIMP's deployments (APLNG, Warrawong, Life Care). Comparable as a microwave-network specialist serving carriers, utilities and public safety across similar remote-area use cases.
• Siklu: Specialist in millimetre-wave (60GHz/80GHz) wireless backhaul solutions with multi-gigabit capacity. Closely comparable to MIMP's millimetre-wave licensed microwave offerings for high-bandwidth enterprise links.

Others

• Peplink: Manufacturer of SD-WAN routers and wireless networking gear; MIMP is a Gold Partner. Comparable as a technology enabler integrated into MIMP's enterprise solutions (e.g., Heathgate Resources).

Regional players
