Communication Technology Background

Communication Technology

Bridging the Digital Divide with LEO Satellite Networks

LEO Satellite Communication Overview

APD is developing greenfield sites in remote areas, using Eutelsat OneWeb's LEO backhaul where required to ensure no community is left disconnected. This is life-changing technology.

We design, build and deliver the full pathway that connects OneWeb's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to Telecommunications Carrier's terrestrial mobile networks — unlocking fast, reliable connectivity for Australia's most remote communities.

By building and activating 120 LEO satellite backhaul base stations across the harshest and most remote parts of Australia, APD is bridging the digital divide – empowering communities, enabling critical services and transforming how people in regional and remote areas connect to the world.

This is transforming how remote Australians connect, work and live. This is mission-critical technology.
