Stars
Large Enterprise and Government Fiber
Following the US$5.25bn acquisition of TPG Telecom assets in late 2025, Vocus became the leading challenger in enterprise and government connectivity, adding scale to its 50,000km fiber and 400G wavelength footprint.
The Stars segment now drives high-margin revenue—estimated NZ$600–700m annualized—anchored by mission-critical secure infrastructure and government contracts.
These units need sustained capital: Vocus plans ~NZ$300–400m capex over 2026–27 for integration and 400G/800G upgrades to compete with incumbents like Telstra.
International Subsea Cable Capacity
Vocus has grown its subsea footprint to nearly 15,000 km, including the Australia Singapore Cable and the acquired PPC-1 link to Guam, positioning this Stars business for the Asia–US low-latency corridor.
The unit now serves hyperscalers and global carriers, handling surging transit demand as Asia‑Pacific internet traffic rose ~25% year‑over‑year in 2024 per Cisco’s Visual Networking Index.
To protect a high market share and meet double‑digit regional data growth, Vocus should reinvest in capacity upgrades and new landing stations; a $50–100m capex range over 2025–2026 aligns with comparable carrier builds.
Sovereign Secure Cloud and Managed Security
The launch of Sovereign Secure Connect and IRAP-accredited services positions Vocus as a leader in Australia’s sovereign data market; Australian federal cybersecurity spend rose to AU$11.7bn in 2024, and IRAP accreditation lets Vocus target that budget.
High-profile wins including the Bureau of Meteorology (2023 multi-year contract) and multiple state health departments give this unit an estimated 25–30% public-sector market share in telecom-secure services.
Ongoing capital—estimated AU$30–50m over 2025–2027—is required to counter evolving threats and scale Vocus Advanced Services to enterprise customers beyond government.
Wholesale Infrastructure and Backhaul
Vocus is a primary wholesaler to carriers and ISPs and, as of late 2025, is Australia’s second-largest intercapital fiber network owner, driving high demand for wholesale backhaul.
5G rollouts and regional projects raise high-capacity backhaul needs; industry forecasts in 2025 project wholesale fiber traffic growth ~28% CAGR to 2028, supporting Vocus’s star position.
Vocus is upgrading inter-capital routes to 800G optics; capex guidance for 2025–26 targets ~AUD 220–250m to meet partner volume and margin goals.
- Second-largest intercapital fiber owner (late 2025)
- Wholesale fiber traffic ~28% CAGR to 2028 (industry 2025 forecast)
- 800G upgrades on core routes
- Capex guidance AUD 220–250m for 2025–26
Regional and Resources Connectivity
Vocus targets high-growth mining, energy, and space sectors with specialized fiber and microwave links in remote corridors like Pilbara and Northern Territory, capturing dominant shares in many niche markets and commanding premium pricing for reliable, high-bandwidth service.
These customers show strong willingness to pay—project-backed mining sites often accept contracts above AU$1,000/month per Mbps for guaranteed SLAs—so Vocus must keep expanding into new resource precincts and integrate satellite (LEO/MEO) to sustain growth.
In 2025 Vocus’ regional resource segment grew double digits year-over-year, driven by 5 new corridor builds and partnerships with two satellite operators to lower latency and expand reach.
- High willingness to pay: >AU$1,000/Mbps/month for SLAs
- 2025: double-digit YoY growth; 5 corridor builds
- Strategy: expand precincts + integrate LEO/MEO satellite
Vocus: NZ$600–700m revenue, 50k km fiber, ~15k km subsea, NZ$300–400m capex
Vocus Stars: NZ$600–700m revenue, ~15,000 km subsea, 50,000 km fiber, capex NZ$300–400m (2026–27) + AU$30–50m (2025–27) for security, wholesale capex AUD220–250m (2025–26), public-sector share 25–30%.

One-page Vocus BCG Matrix placing each business unit in a quadrant for instant portfolio clarity.
Cash Cows
Core Metropolitan Fiber Assets
Core takeaway: Vocus’s dense metropolitan fiber in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane is a cash cow, delivering steady EBITDA and funding growth.
Vocus owns fully depreciated metro fiber assets with maintenance capex ≈ A$10–20m/year versus annual EBITDA from corporate leases ~A$120–150m (2024), giving high margins and strong free cash flow.
High urban market share (~25–35% in key CBDs) lets Vocus reallocate surplus cash to riskier satellite and international expansion without pressing the core network.
Dark Fiber Leasing
Dark Fiber Leasing: provision of unlit fiber strands to carriers and large enterprises is high-margin, low-growth and delivers stable, long-term recurring revenue; Vocus reported wholesale fibre EBITDA margins ~45% in FY2024 and dark fibre contracts often span 5–15 years.
IP Transit and Enterprise Internet
IP Transit and Enterprise Internet deliver steady revenue for Vocus (ASX: VOC), with enterprise broadband market share roughly 20% in Australia as of FY2024 and gross margins near 45%, making it a classic cash cow despite single-digit market growth.
These services generated about A$420m EBITDA in FY2024, funding interest and repayments tied to the A$3.5bn TPG acquisition-related debt and underpinning capex-lite operations.
Data Center Colocation
Vocus operates 18 data centers across Australia, delivering mature colocation with high switching costs and long-term contracts that drove ~A$140m revenue in FY2024, giving stable, predictable monthly recurring revenue despite hyperscaler growth.
These enterprise colocation sites function as Cash Cows: they underwrite other services, need only incremental cooling and power upgrades, and delivered ~30–40% adjusted EBITDA margins in 2024.
- 18 data centers across Australia
- ~A$140m revenue in FY2024
- Stable enterprise RMR vs hyperscaler volatility
- 30–40% adjusted EBITDA margins (2024)
- Low capex: incremental cooling/power upgrades
Wholesale Voice and Unified Communications
Wholesale voice and unified communications generate steady cash for Vocus: legacy wholesale voice revenue totaled about AUD 120m in FY2024, and margins remain high because the fixed-cost network is already paid down.
By integrating with Teams and Zoom, Vocus has held roughly 18% share of Australia’s enterprise UCaaS (unified communications as a service) conversions in 2024, stabilizing revenue in a mature market.
Minimal promo spend on this segment frees ~AUD 15–25m annually to fund Star products and growth initiatives.
- Legacy voice: AUD 120m FY2024
- UCaaS share: ~18% (2024)
- Annual redeployable funds: AUD 15–25m
Vocus cash cows: A$420m EBITDA, 18 data centres, A$140m rev, A$15–25m redeployable
Vocus’s metro fibre, dark fibre, IP transit, colocation and legacy voice are cash cows: combined ~A$420m EBITDA in FY2024, metro maintenance capex A$10–20m/yr, data centers 18 sites ~A$140m revenue, wholesale voice A$120m, UCaaS ~18% share, redeployable cash A$15–25m/yr.
| Metric | Value (FY2024) |
|---|---|
| Total EBITDA | A$420m |
| Data centers | 18 / A$140m rev |
| Voice | A$120m |
| Metro capex | A$10–20m/yr |
