Everywhere’, it is our tagline, our motto. “We look after many Indigenous communities, remote stations and regional Queensland businesses so connectivity has always been a drama,” Mr Stephens said. It provides carrier services, point-to-point networks, routing switching, WI-FI, CCTV and more “That translates to a really poor experience when you are browsing the internet, downloading files, and running business applications, but because Starlink sits in Low Earth Orbit, it’s latency is really low, 20 to 40 milliseconds in fact.”ĪirBridge looks after 26 councils across Australia and over the years have provided solutions for mining and agricultural companiesĪnd even the defence force, it mainly focuses on two separate veins of connectivity, telephony and carrier services. “Traditional satellite solutions take a really long time to transmit data to and from the satellite therefor you experience around 600 milliseconds of latency – the time it takes for that data packet to commence its journey from its origin to the sky and then back down again.

“There will be one, maybe two megabytes (MB) available through existing technologies, however with new LEO connections you will be provided with instant, 250MB download speeds – so it is not a small change it, is a significant one. “There are plenty of places where there is poor mobile reception and, in some cases, no actual connectivity, it’s painful, you are wait-ing and waiting and it still feels like old technology,” he said. “Like all good businesses we started from a humble beginning in our garage,” Mr Stephens said.ĪirBridge recently announced a platinum partnership with lead-ing Australian telecommunications giant Vocus – a competitor to both Telstra and Optus – which has installed the ground stations and provides the internet backhaul for SpaceX’s revolutionary Starlink system in Australia and is now able to distribute the low earth orbit (LEO) solution across the country.ĪirBridge boasts a large customer and employee base on the Ta-blelands including local coffee plantation Jaques Coffee Plantation which recently got Starlink installed, providing a new, more powerful engine to their existing WI-FI network which was also installed by AirBridge.īecause Starlink is a low Earth orbit satellite solution, Mr Ste-phens said the level of connectivity speed and reliability clients gain in regional areas like the Tablelands is unmatched.

With previous experience in the tech and connectivity space as a Telstra network architect and comms consultant, chief information officer for local government and at a web design marketing firm in the United States – Mr Stephens knows a thing or two about keeping people connected. After noticing a shortfall of effective and affordable internet service providers, Tablelands local Douglas Stephens founded AirBridge in 2016, setting out to bring meaningful connection to people who needed it most.
