Australia’s Telstra has announced that it has working with Starlink to deliver Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity to provide fixed voice and broadband services in remote parts of the country. In a blog post regarding the development, the Aussie firm said that it expects to be able to provide a fixed voice service coupled with Starlink broadband services to Australians as a bundle offer, while offering local tech support and the option of professional installation.
According to Telstra, it expects to launch the new service offerings for both residential and business customers ‘towards the end of 2023’. More details regarding pricing and other elements of the new tariffs will reportedly be revealed later this year, alongside the telco providing more information regarding ‘how basic voice calls will work with [the] modem which will be offered with the service’.
