With the commercial launch of the new  nbn® Sky Muster® Long Term Satellite Service (LTSS), regional and rural areas across Australia that are eligible for the new satellite service will be able to benefit from a much improved Internet connectivity compared to the previous Interim Satellite Service (ISS).
The nbn® Sky Muster® satellite service offers faster Internet speeds and higher data allowances across a much improved satellite network. It can be ordered through authorised nbn® Retail Service Providers (RSP) like Activ8me, Australia’s largest satellite service provider.
Good news for all residents living in the high country around Walcha as the Sky Muster® satellite service is now available in your area.



Who can connect to the new Sky Muster® Satellite Service?
The nbn® launched the Sky Muster® satellite into orbit last year with the goal of delivering faster and more reliable Internet for regional communities across Australia. The Sky Muster® satellite service is available in places where the nbn®  fibre and nbn® fixed wireless  services are simply out of coverage due to the distance pose by the areas. Residents living around the area of Walcha can check the availability of the nbn® Sky Muster® Satellite Service by calling Activ8me 13 22 88  for a hassle free sign-up and installation.
Likewise, you can check your nbn® Sky Muster® Satellite Service eligibility by going to Activ8me’s homepage: https://activ8me.net.au/ and typing in your address into our Address Checker as seen below:

They can also have access to cloud-based data sharing platforms that lead to higher yields and lower farming costs.
Enhance educational competencies – With the Sky Muster®, it is easier and less expensive for people at multiple locations to work and study collaboratively, learn from teachers in distant cities, and even offer medical care without being physically present with a patient. Areas that need special attention include linking of schools, colleges or universities, and continuing education of students and professionals.
Revolutionise health care  services – It provides fast access to new telehealth services online and securely centralises electronic health records (eHR) to deliver the necessary patient-centred health experiences and quality health outcomes. It also leverages the Australian E-Health landscape and acts as the conduit in the delivery of a safer, better connected, and more sustainable health care system.
