3rd Base Networks (3BN) can provide simple ADSL2+ to residential end points, exceptionally complex multi site Layer2 connectivity and even point to point between Sydney and San Francisco. Relying on some of Australia’s most successful tier one and tier two wholesale telecommunications companies, 3BN can get you connected where you need it.

Mobile data, wifi data and wifi-mesh solutions are also available.

So how does our pricing compare with other providers?

We’re competitive in the market but key to 3BN’s offering is the depth of knowledge about business connectivity and the requirements of new businesses. In this world of borderless corporate networks signing up for Internet access with a Telstra, TPG or Optus is great for simple access but randomly assigned IP addresses and a Layer3 only service is very restrictive.

Perhaps you want your office DSL, your home DSL and you mobile data plan connected to the same private network with access to a specific virtual server hosted in the 3BN data centre? This isn’t something out of the ordinary for us and we can quickly and easily make this a reality.

Another requirement might be a dedicated private IP connection between your Sydney office, your developers in Auckland and your financiers in Perth. We’ll arrange and manage the initial setup, work with the providers involved and deliver you a service with a single monthly fee. Easy.

caret and stick have established a number of relationships with both local and international suppliers of server hardware. We find interesting combinations of hardware controllers, ultra-dense server clusters, build super-compute platforms and can do all kinds of power and management interfaces.

Laptops and tablets come in many varied shapes, sizes and operating systems. We can help source units for prototyping, manage bulk orders and connect with the manufacturers to establish future direction dialogues.

We can also provide off the shelf hardware from Acer and ASUS to Samsung, Supermicro and VIA Technologies and everyone in between. With a high level of technical understanding caret and stick may even suggest a hardware platform which will assist with accelerated development at a reduced cost.

Do you have to use caret and stick for all hardware? What about components?

Sure! Ask us and we’ll find it. A number of the world’s most innovative vendors are not trading in Australia and caret and stick can identify, purchase and import anything (within reason!).
