About Us

In 2019, Newscom won the NECA award for our project on the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Center expansion. It was one of the largest projects of this type we have ever taken on.

The ICT and AV infrastructure cabling included 3,000 CAT 6A outlets, 46 kilometres of fibre optic cabling, 3,600 individual cores of terminated fibre cabling, 200 floor and wall box locations, and 170 ceiling boxes located 20 metres above the floor level. 12 new floor distributor cupboards, each comprising 2 full height network racks to house fibre cabling to the existing two server rooms, were also installed.
