The platform is expected to go live before the end of 2026, with phased rollout across the fibre footprint in the first six months.
Revenue is expected to grow over time as monthly per-service licence fees scale.

Activeport Group Ltd (ASX:ATV) has signed a stage-1 contract valued at more than A$1m with Microscan Infocommtech Private Limited, which it describes as Mumbai's largest independent fibre operator. Under the contract, Activeport will deploy its network orchestration software for a new pan-India Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform running over Microscan's fibre network.

Scope of the Contract

The Microscan network spans more than 1,800 km of fibre, connecting every major data centre, cable landing station and thousands of enterprise buildings across India. Activeport will provide its portal and provisioning software, which lets Microscan customers order on-demand connectivity between data centres and enterprise buildings, access IP transit, and connect to neo-cloud and enterprise cloud on-ramps across the country. The company says the rollout reaches all major data centres, cable landing stations and thousands of commercial buildings.

Revenue Model

The company says stage 1 is expected to generate more than A$1 million and to grow over time as monthly per-service licence fees scale. That means the value of the contract rises only if Microscan's customers order services through the platform, so Revenue depends on adoption. Activeport links expected uptake to growth in AI and in API-based trading of connectivity, graphics processing unit and cloud capacity, and says this will grow its recurring licence revenue stream. These statements describe expectations, and the announcement does not give a revenue forecast by period. Michael Glynn said operators able to provision and manage infrastructure in real time are positioned to benefit from AI-driven growth in India's data centre and network markets, which is the company's view of the market. The announcement was authorised for release by the Board.

Timing and Next Stage

Chief Operating Officer Michael Glynn said the platform is expected to go live before the end of 2026, with a phased national rollout across Microscan's fibre footprint in the first six months. He also said Activeport expects a stage 2 contract to be announced in early 2027, adding security products and additional features. The announcement states that the parties intend to pursue a second stage, which is subject to final commercial terms and definitive documentation, so stage 2 is not yet contracted.

Contract Terms and Counterparty

Activeport advised that the Microscan contract includes customary termination clauses, including for breach of ownership, change of ownership and insolvency. The announcement does not state the contract term or the minimum payments that apply if Microscan's usage is lower than expected. Microscan is headquartered in Mumbai, with more than 25 years of experience delivering fibre connectivity and managed network solutions to enterprise, carrier, banking, financial services, media and government customers in India.

Company Background

Activeport is an Australian technology company headquartered in Perth, with operations across Australia, Europe and India. Its Global Edge platform provides self-service, edge-to-cloud NaaS solutions for carriers and enterprises globally, and the company supplies network automation and orchestration software to telecommunications, data centre and IT markets.

What the Contract Establishes

The agreement places Activeport's software on a large independent fibre network in India and sets a stage-1 value above A$1m, with further revenue tied to licence usage. The outcome will depend on the go-live date, the pace of customer adoption and whether the proposed second stage reaches definitive documentation.
