Lifecycle
| Kind | Date | Details | Refs |
|---|---|---|---|
| birth | 2003 | Cirrus Communications founded, Gosford NSW (fixed wireless). Live by the earliest Wayback capture, 12 Jul 2005. | |
| death | May 2021 | Rebranded Swoop; merged into Swoop Holdings via reverse takeover. | |
| note | 2021 approx | ACN attribution caveat: the entity CIRRUS PTY LTD (ACN 636 256 052, ABN 17 636 256 052, NSW 2023) does not correspond to the 2003 Gosford operating company — its ACN was registered ~2019 and its ABN is active only from 1 Sep 2021, postdating both the founding and the ~May 2021 Swoop rebrand, and its name (CIRRUS PTY LTD, not Cirrus Communications) and Sydney address differ. It appears to be a later Swoop-group brand-holding entity; the operating company's ABN is not currently locatable (no active 'Cirrus Communications' on ABR — likely cancelled/renamed after the reverse takeover). |
