Based in Sydney with a national partner network, Essential is a specialist integrator of communications technology specializing in the design, implementation and ongoing management of converged voice and data networks. Established in 1991 as the Ericsson Business Phone Centre, Essential has evolved from being a specialist PABX reseller into a professional voice and data integrator, with over 21 years of experience in tailoring solutions to the medium and larger enterprise market and then providing those customers with ongoing support.
