REDARC Electronics is an Australian electronics manufacturer established in 1979. [1] It is located in Lonsdale, South Australia, an industrial suburb south of Adelaide. [2] [3]

REDARC products are used in a variety of vehicles for various purposes. Their range of products includes voltage converters, inverters, power supplies, battery chargers, and trailer braking solutions for industries such as automotive and trucking, agricultural, medical, and defence. [4] It holds the patents for the technologies on which these products are developed. [5] [6]

In 2019, REDARC's Lonsdale facility added 3,000m2 of advanced manufacturing space in a $22 million development, enabling REDARC to increase its manufacturing capacity by 250% and increase productivity. The additional space now houses a new surface-mount technology line for loading electronic components, an electromagnetic compatibility chamber, and a vibration test lab. The vibration test lab enables highly accelerated lifetime testing of products - simulating 10 years of life in a reported span of two days. Three new universal collaborative robots ‘Cobots’ have also been purchased. [7]

REDARC was listed in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Australia list for three consecutive years - 2011, 2012, and 2013. [8] [9] [10] The firm was also named the 2014 Telstra Business of the year [11] and 2017 Global Media Award Winner for the Tow-Pro Elite Electronic Brake Controller at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. [12]

REDARC has made movements into the Defence sector and has planned to team up with UK-based advanced manufacturing company MARL International to manufacture and support special light emitting diodes (LED) to be installed in the Type 26 Global Combat Ship-Australia (GCS-A), if BAE Systems secures the SEA 5000 Future Frigates contract.

Internet in Australia first became available on a permanent basis to universities in Australia in May 1989, via AARNet. Pegasus Networks was Australia's first public Internet provider in June 1989. The first commercial dial-up Internet Service Provider (ISP) appeared in capital cities soon after, and by the mid-1990s almost the entire country had a range of choices of dial-up ISPs. Today, Internet access is available through a range of technologies, i.e. hybrid fibre coaxial cable, digital subscriber line (DSL), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and satellite Internet. In July 2009, the federal government, in partnership with the industrial sector, began rolling out a nationwide fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) and improved fixed wireless and satellite access through the National Broadband Network. Subsequently, the roll out was downgraded to a Multi-Technology Mix on the promise of it being less expensive and with earlier completion. In October 2020, the federal government announced an upgrade by 2023 of NBN fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) services to FTTP for 2 million households, at a cost of A$3.5 billion.
