NBN Co intends to lock in regional customers before a full-scale migration from the Sky Muster geostationary fleet begins later in 2026.
Sky Muster will continue to operate until at least 2028 to ensure continuity.
Sky Muster is a geostationary (GEO) satellite fleet that exhibits latency of 600 milliseconds or more.
NBN launched Sky Muster Plus on 2019-08-11 as an option for homes and businesses.
NBN is allowing Viasat to use the Ka-band Sky Muster satellites to provide inflight Wi-Fi to Qantas Airways.
An NBN executive estimated that the business service will use 15 percent of the capacity on the Sky Muster Ka-band satellite system.
