4 reasons to get satellite internet for your regional small business

Regional businesses are a vital component of the Australian economy, representing 31% of all small enterprises. However, the inconsistent availability of fast and reliable broadband internet often hinders the full adoption of digital technologies by these businesses.

The introduction of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite internet now provides a solution for businesses located in remote areas where broadband access is currently limited.

The Benefits of LEO Satellite Internet for Your Business

The availability of fast, dependable, and secure internet connectivity through LEO satellite technology can have a transformative effect on your small business. Telstra has launched a new Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite internet service tailored to regional Australian businesses. Powered by Starlink, this service offers unlimited data, with download speeds of up to 50Mbps and upload speeds of 10Mbps, allowing your business to operate digitally at speeds previously unattainable.

Key advantages include:

  • Improved access to advanced digital tools
    With faster internet, businesses can make full use of artificial intelligence (AI), software automation, and cloud-based solutions, which are essential for modern business growth.
  • Increased market reach
    Enhanced connectivity enables businesses to engage with a much wider audience, selling products and services beyond the local market and expanding their customer base.
  • Streamlined payment processing
    LEO satellite internet facilitates faster EFTPOS transactions, allowing customers to pay by card quickly and efficiently, reducing the reliance on cash and simplifying end-of-day reconciliations.
  • Access to cloud-based accounting software
    With platforms like Xero and MYOB, managing accounts becomes easier and more efficient, as bookkeeping can be done entirely online, reducing the administrative burden.
