What satellite service is NBN Co proposing to operate?
NBN Co is planning to launch two next generation Ka band satellites that will each have a total capacity of between 60 and 80 gigabits per second. The broadband access services available over satellite are designed to provide peak download speeds of 12 Mbps – similar to those that many city people currently experience. However, the speeds that end users will experience will depend on a number of factors including the plan they choose, their equipment and their in-premises connection. NBN Co is exploring the potential for the satellite system to deliver future speeds to 100Mbps or more.
