For decades, this solar-powered, generator-backed network has kept people connected during blackouts, especially in life-or-death situations like head injuries needing helicopters. The new satellite system, set to roll out by November 2027, demands users provide their own power, including backups—a risky gamble when storms can knock out power for days. While Telstra claims the old tech is obsolete and the new system is safer and more reliable, critics worry about the time lost starting generators during emergencies. The transition also coincides with the end of ADSL internet, making this a massive, potentially dangerous shift for rural Australia.
