The Sky Muster® truck will be on its way to Eyre Peninsula next month to demonstrate the capabilities of the nbn®  Sky Muster®  satellite and nbn® fixed wireless services.
Road Muster is a converted four-wheel drive truck featuring a carbon-fibre satellite dish capable of finding and transmitting internet broadband from a Sky Muster® signal anywhere in Australia.
The truck is equipped with two large touchscreen monitors and computers, carries its own power source, and is designed to reach the most remote parts of the country even in the most rugged terrain.
According to the nbn® State Corporate Affairs Manager Jill Bottrall, the best way to demonstrate the Sky Muster® satellite’s speed and effectiveness is to take the experience directly to the people and show them what they would get.
Ms Bottrall said there are thousands of people in regional and remote areas in the country that have either very bad or no internet services at all.

“Sky Muster® is about to bridge the digital divide and transform the lives and business practices of remote Australians, so the Road Muster truck is an important tool that allows us to show exactly what online experience people can get from a satellite connection,”]

Ms Bottrall noted the nbn® was well aware that while only three per cent of all premises in Australia would have a Sky Muster® connection, it nonetheless represented 400,000 homes and businesses – of which about 32,000 will be in South Australia.

“Whether remote residents work in education, health, tourism, transport, mining, or food and fisheries, the introduction of fast, reliable phone and internet services is going to have a transformative impact in the way they do business. Sky Muster® is the most sophisticated and fastest broadband satellite in the world and will provide greater speeds and data allowances than any other satellite.”

The Road Muster will be at the Eyre Peninsula Field Days from August 9 to 11 and will have a stop over in 10 towns across the region from August 15 to 19.
