OnAir Solutions is a distributor to the Australian broadcast market.

 

OnAir Solutions provides superior representation to a select group of high quality manufacturers by focussing on the following:

 

1.      Customer needs

2.      Technical knowledge of the products represented

3.      Advanced product support

 

From opening day, OnAir Solutions has the necessary infrastructure to provide quotes, take orders, process international payments, manage international freight, bench test received equipment, distribute equipment locally and support this equipment using sophisticated “case tracking” software to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

 

This is because unlike many young companies, OnAir Solutions has no ramp up time to be fully operational at all levels of Sales, Support and Logistics.

 

OnAir Solutions is a division of Dingbat Technology. Formed in 2004, Dingbat Technology is the core infrastructure provider to its 3 divisions, “Logitek Australia”, “iTkey” and now “OnAir Solutions”. The existing infrastructure Dingbat Technology provides to Logitek Australia and iTkey forms the operational base for OnAir Solutions.
