About the Project

This federal government initiative is a multi-year program to modernise and future-proof satellite communications infrastructure across a global network. The project focuses on:

  • Integrating high-performance, low-maintenance satellite terminals
  • Deploying NGSO capabilities to pilot sites
  • Supporting and maintaining critical GEO locations

This work underpins the government's broader digital transformation goals, ensuring secure, infrastructure-independent communications essential for cloud-hosted services and operational continuity in remote environments.
