Bourke picked for NBN satellite station
BOURKE in northwestern New South Wales has been picked as one of 10 towns across Australia to host a satellite ground station as part of the national broadband network (NBN).
“This ground station will act as an essential satellite gateway, helping deliver fast broadband to rural and remote communities across Australia,” Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said today.
The key ground station at Bourke will provide between 15,000 and 20,000 Australians in homes, farms and businesses with broadband speeds of up to 12 megabits a second from 2015.
