Telstra signs deal with OneWeb to connect Australia’s remote areas

Australian operator Telstra and satellite firm OneWeb have signed a deal that promises to deliver ‘one of the world’s largest rollouts’ of its LEO backhaul for a commercial mobile network.
After a period of testing the firms are set to begin moving hundreds of existing remote mobile base stations currently using satellite backhaul to OneWeb’s LEO solution this year. Telstra will also make use of OneWeb LEO satellites for future sites where satellite backhaul is preferable
