Highlights

  • Activeport has executed a stage-one agreement valued at more than A$1 million for network orchestration software in India.
  • The software is intended to support a pan-India Network-as-a-Service platform operated by Microscan.
  • Activeport expects the platform to launch before the end of 2026, followed by a phased national rollout.
  • Recurring licence fees are linked to services provisioned through the platform, so the final contract value is not fixed.
  • A proposed second stage would add network security products and functionality, subject to further commercial agreement.

Activeport Group Limited (ASX:ATV) is an Australian technology company that provides network automation and orchestration software to telecommunications, data centre and IT markets. Its latest commercial update centres on a stage-one agreement with Microscan Infocommtech Private Limited to deploy software for a pan-India Network-as-a-Service platform, expanding Activeport’s software deployment across India.

What the Stage-One Agreement Covers

Announced on 6 October 2026, the agreement is valued at more than A$1 million. Activeport will provide portal and provisioning software that is intended to operate on Microscan’s fibre infrastructure. The platform is designed to let customers request connectivity between data centres and enterprise buildings on demand, purchase IP transit, and connect to cloud services through a digital interface.

The company said the platform will run across Microscan’s pan-India fibre backbone. Activeport stated that the network extends for more than 1,800 kilometres and reaches major data centres, cable landing stations and enterprise buildings. The arrangement therefore gives the software deployment a national operating footprint rather than limiting it to a single site or regional network.

How Revenue Is Structured

The initial stage is worth more than A$1 million, but Activeport has not disclosed a fixed total value for the full relationship. The company said revenue may increase through monthly licence fees charged per service provisioned on the platform. This means the amount ultimately generated from the agreement will depend partly on the level of customer usage.

No estimate was provided for future usage-based licence revenue. The announcement also did not provide a forecast for the number of services expected to be provisioned after launch, leaving the recurring component dependent on actual platform adoption.

Launch Timetable and Possible Second Stage

Activeport expects the platform to launch before the end of 2026. The company said the national rollout is planned in phases during the first six months, although delivery against that timetable remains subject to implementation progress.

The parties are also considering a second stage that would cover additional network security products and functionality. That stage is not yet contracted. It remains subject to final commercial terms and definitive documentation, so the current agreement relates only to the confirmed stage-one scope.

Operational Factors to Monitor

The contract includes customary termination provisions covering matters such as breach, change of ownership and insolvency. Because the stage-one amount is stated only as more than A$1 million and the recurring component depends on service usage, the announcement does not establish the total revenue Activeport may receive over time.

Execution will therefore centre on the planned 2026 launch, the phased rollout across the network and subsequent service provisioning. Any later expansion into the proposed second stage would require a separate commercial agreement.

Key Insights

The agreement gives Activeport a defined stage-one software deployment in India with an initial value above A$1 million and a recurring fee structure linked to service provisioning. The commercial significance will depend on platform launch, rollout execution and customer usage. The proposed second stage may broaden the scope of the relationship, but it remains conditional and is not part of the confirmed contract at this point.
