Legend Corporation Case Study

How Legend Corporation Connected Its Operations With Nexthop Dark Fibre

| Dark Fibre Case Studies | Case Study

Legend Corporation is a market leader in electrical products and industrial solutions across Australia. Operating a diversified portfolio of trusted brands — including CABAC, Acculec, Ecco Pacific, Hendon Semiconductors, System Control Engineering, and CON-X - Legend serves critical infrastructure, electrical, communications, and industrial markets nationwide. The group designs, manufactures, and distributes over 28,000 product lines through multiple subsidiary companies, each with its own operational and technology requirements.

Managing IT infrastructure across a group of this breadth and complexity requires connectivity that is reliable, high-performance, and delivered by a provider that operates with the same precision and accountability that Legend demands across its own businesses.

The Challenge

As a multi-brand industrial group, Legend Corporation's operations span manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and corporate functions across multiple sites. Connecting these operations with high-performance, dedicated connectivity is critical — the group's IT systems, enterprise applications, and inter-site communications all depend on network infrastructure that performs consistently and without interruption.

Finding a connectivity provider that could deliver dark fibre reliably and on committed timelines was essential. In an industry where delayed infrastructure delivery can hold up broader operational projects, Legend needed a partner that would meet its ETAs — not just quote them.

The Solution

Legend Corporation engaged Nexthop to deliver dark fibre connectivity. Nexthop provided dedicated, private fibre paths over its fully owned and operated network, giving Legend complete control over bandwidth, security, and transmission between its key sites.

From the outset, Nexthop's team — led by Sales Director Tim Jones — took a proactive approach to delivery. Timelines were committed to and consistently met or exceeded. Communication throughout the process was direct, responsive, and professional, with Nexthop's team staying ahead of issues rather than reacting to them.

The Result

Nexthop delivered dark fibre to Legend Corporation on time and to specification — consistently meeting or exceeding the committed ETAs across each stage of the project. For a Group IT Manager overseeing technology infrastructure across a portfolio of operating companies, the reliability of Nexthop's delivery process was as important as the quality of the fibre itself.

The experience stood out for its responsiveness and ease. In a market where IT managers routinely deal with missed deadlines, slow communication, and reactive support from connectivity providers, Nexthop's proactive approach and professional delivery set a different standard.
