Optus has signed satellite capacity deals with regional broadcasters Southern Cross Media Group, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Special Broadcasting Service and Imparja Television.
All four deals are for 10-year periods and will see the broadcasters deliver next-generation digital free-to-air television services via Optus Satellite to Australian households in areas were terrestrial digital TV signals cannot be received. Optus, which is owned by Singapore Telecom, said the contracts are part of an Australian government program which will transition the country’s analog free-to-air television signals to digital-only signals between 2010 and 2013.
Optus announced that it was awarded multiple contracts to supply mobile and satellite communications services to Australia’s Northern Territory government. Under the terms of the three-year agreement, all government agencies can procure the full suite of Optus mobile voice and data services, including mobile broadband, as well as Optus Thuraya mobile satellite services for voice coverage in remote areas. The government’s existing fleet includes more than 7000 mobile and 600 satellite phone services.

- Erika: We are looking to wire a FOB with commercial Internet for approximately 900 people. During high times, we would probably have 350-400 people online at once. Users want to be able to do VoIP, webcam, streaming media at a speed comparable to that in the US. There is also the potential to do the same thing at five other FOBs that are about half the size of the main one that we want to provide Internet to, so there would be 175-200 on at once during a high period of use.
