Connectivity
We run our own connectivity
We own and operate fibre, satellite, fixed wireless and wholesale services. When we recommend a connection, it's one we run and support ourselves.
Network design and installation · Melbourne and regional Victoria
Business networks, designed and installed by the engineer you talk to.
TinkerNet designs, builds and supports networks for businesses. We also run our own fibre, satellite and fixed wireless services, so we can supply the connection as well as the network. Based in Kensington, working across Melbourne and regional Victoria, and interstate when the job needs it.
- Four sites, one ground line
- Fixed wireless, line of sight
- Satellite
- Fibre in trench
Three reasons
Why TinkerNet
Hard sites
We take on hard sites
Festival grounds, mining camps, farms and buildings with poor coverage. If there's no fibre, no power or no easy cable path, give us a call.
Small team
You deal with the engineer doing the work
We're a small team of senior engineers. The person who quotes your job is the person who builds it, and the person you call if something goes wrong.
Services
What we do
Most jobs start with a design or a review. If the job needs a connection, we can supply that too. Every job is quoted after we've talked it through.
Network design and installation
Office networks, multi-site networks, Wi-Fi and cabling. We design it, install it and document it. We also review existing networks and fix what's causing problems.

Dark fibre
Unlit fibre between your sites. You connect your own equipment at each end and control the whole link.
Site to site · your equipment
Layer 2 and Layer 3 services
Point-to-point and routed links from 100M to 10G, supplied through our wholesale partners and set up by us.
100M–10G
Melbourne metro direct connect
Direct network connections between your sites in metro Melbourne.
Metro Melbourne · site to site
Starlink with 4G backup
Starlink and other satellite services for regional and remote sites, with a 4G connection that takes over automatically if the satellite drops out.
Satellite · 4G failover
Fixed wireless
Radio links between two points where running cable isn't practical, like across a paddock, over a road or between buildings. We check line of sight on site before we quote.
