BAI Communications Acquires Titan ICT to Boost Private Networks

BAI Communications has completed the acquisition of Titan ICT, an Australian communications engineering specialist with strong expertise in networks for the mining, resources, and energy sectors. The move strengthens BAI’s strategic goal of becoming a leading provider of telecommunications and mission-critical network solutions.

Founded in 2003, Titan ICT has built a strong reputation over two decades for delivering engineering design, advisory, systems integration, and managed services, particularly in private networks using LTE, Microwave, IP, and Radio technologies. It also holds longstanding relationships with major enterprises and blue-chip mining clients.

The integration expands the combined capabilities of BAI and Titan ICT, enabling the delivery of tailored private mobile network and operational communications solutions. BAI brings spectrum access and deep experience in mission-critical network management, while Titan ICT contributes proven expertise in private LTE deployments and network design. Together, the companies aim to broaden their offering across industries requiring advanced, secure connectivity.

Peter Lambourne, CEO of BAI Communications, noted that the acquisition enhances BAI’s competitive position in private LTE and private network solutions, helping to accelerate growth and support specialised projects. He emphasized the immediate priority of ensuring service continuity for Titan ICT’s customers while leveraging combined talent and capabilities to meet critical connectivity needs.
Chris Upstone, Managing Director of Titan ICT, highlighted the cultural and operational alignment between the two companies, underscoring their shared customer-centric approach. He also pointed to opportunities for scaling services, developing new solutions, and creating growth pathways for employees.

With this acquisition, BAI expects to expand its national service delivery and reinforce its position in private wireless and critical communications. The move is especially significant for sectors like mining and energy, where robust, dedicated communications infrastructure is essential for operations in challenging environments.
