Concerns over sovereignty, risk in satellite internet
Thousands of satellites will replace two Australia sent to space to tie some of the most remote communities.
However, the increasing confidence in the Mercurial overseas providers for satellite connection has created some concerns.
Australia’s national large band network company, the current Skyster satellite internet services, in the middle of the mid -2026 web services giant Amazon Project Kuiper’s low -world orbit is planned to replace.
Robert Hardie, General Manager of NBN CO Health and Agriculture, said it was the latest technology when it was released in Skymuster 2016 and remained in accordance with the purpose and remained appropriate for the purpose.
However, partnership with Amazon will provide wider access to Australia Netizens and faster internet speeds will provide wider access to the latest technology.
“Satellite telecommunications have progressed more in the last 30 years than in the last 30 years, Hard Hardie told AAP on Thursday.
Fixed wireless bands over the satellite require additional equipment, ie interruptions such as power outages can interrupt the connection of the users.
However, there are direct connections to the device that allows ordinary smartphones to be connected to low world orbit satellites.
Dan Lloyd, General Manager of Australia, says it is a basic transformation.
“Especially for services such as triple zero, we have seen that the tragic consequences of the triple zero recently have not worked.”
Optus came under fire due to the failure to bind the triple zero calls with multiple deaths connected to the deduction.
Lloyd had an existing ability for Triple Zero to work over satellite since 2022, but now he just supported the text, Lloyd said.
He also created concerns about sovereignty in Australia’s satellite strategy.
“We will trust the best efforts from international US constellations.”
The NBN project will partner with Amazon, but Australian consumers and Great Telcos have adopted the rival Starlink.
“Starlink, (founder) Elon Musk does not like when there is a history of closing the services,” he said.
Mr. Musk is also the owner of the social media platform X, which opposes the law proposed by Australia for children under 16 years of age.
The company said, “serious concerns üzerinde on the law, including other regulations and compliance with other regulations and laws, including the international human rights agreements signed by Australia. submission Senate investigation.
“I’m very worried that US constellations will continue to offer a service that I think will be absolutely necessary for the Australians for the Australians, Ll said Lloyd.
Government policies aiming at the obligation to universally open air mobile coverage may require local telko to serve the device directly.
“However, they do not have the ability to force US networks to provide service and continuity,” the National Farmer Federation said to the AGXCANGE Conference.
The negotiations were continuing, but Mr. Hardie said that NBN understood the importance of data sovereignty and confidentiality.
Iz We are very enthusiastic to direct traffic through Australia to maintain data feature to some extent, ”he said.
