Telstra and OneWeb have announced plans to roll out one of the world’s largest OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) backhaul for a commercial mobile network. After successful testing in Australia, Telstra and OneWeb will begin moving hundreds of remote mobile base stations currently using satellite backhaul to OneWeb’s LEO solution from later in 2023. The strategic agreement will see up to 25 Gbit/s of LEO capacity being delivered to Telstra’s most remote mobile customers across Australia to help enhance their experience when using real-time applications such as voice and video calling. The partnership complements Telstra’s T25 ambition to grow and extend its network leadership position and extend mobile coverage across the country.
