Cirrus Networks Holdings Limited says it has entered into a new IT contract with Rio Tinto that will provide it with the opportunity to bid for IT infrastructure services against a limited number of other pre-qualified providers.

This agreement comes on top of Rio awarding a Wi-Fi-focused contract to Swift Media at the Brockman operations and an IT supply contract to Empired.

Cirrus Managing Director, Matt Sullivan, said: “Cirrus is excited at the opportunity to collaborate with such a high-quality global organisation. We are proud that we have been able to demonstrate our capability in delivering high value solutions to the resources sector and look forward to showcasing these to Rio Tinto over the coming years.”
