STRA was built by field engineers, for the sites everyone else quoted as "too hard." That's still who we are.
STRA started with a simple problem: stations, camps and small communities across remote Australia couldn't get a straight answer from metro-based installers about whether a job was even possible. We said yes, worked out the engineering, and built a reputation on turning up.
Thirty years on, the equipment has changed — VAST replaced analogue satellite, UHF networks now carry data as well as voice, towers carry backhaul for entire mine sites — but the job hasn't: get a reliable signal into a place that doesn't have one, and keep it there.
We still send engineers, not subcontractors. Every STRA technician who climbs a tower or points a dish has done the RF training to know why it works, not just how to bolt it together.
Every project starts with a proper site survey — terrain, power, access and climate — not a catalogue quote.
Link budgets, structural loading and redundancy are calculated before anything ships to site.
Remote sites don't get casual maintenance visits, so we build for decades, not warranty periods.
24/7 support and scheduled servicing — the relationship doesn't end at handover.
