Albury Office Address Change

November 12, 2018 / by

Please note that our Albury office has moved recently. New address is 829 Knight Rd North Albury NSW 2640. Click here for complete contact details.

SAF Australia Albury Office and Warehouse

We Are Growing

Earlier this year we made a decision to move our Albury office to larger premises in order to accommodate our growing team as well as our growing stock of microwave radio equipment and antennas.

Our new office and warehouse is around three times the size of the previous premises. We outgrew the previous space in just two and a half years since moving to Albury from Salamander Bay.

Local Stock in Albury

As part of our commitment to deliver more of our customers` orders faster we continue to expand and optimise our local Australian stock held at our Albury office.

The next stock addition will include new Integra GS 8GHz microwave radios. These radios provide up to 472Mbps full-duplex speed and the minimum link distance specified by ACMA for this frequency band is only 10km.  This makes it a particularly attractive option for high rain rate areas.

We are also expecting the arrival of another 40 foot container of microwave antennas early next year.

Albury Wodonga Customers

We would like to also take the opportunity to thank our local Albury Wodonga and nearby customers who have entrusted us with building and maintaining their microwave radio networks since our Albury office was established.

These include Albury City Council, City of Wodonga,  Wodonga TAFE and Moira Shire Council.
