In this episode, we chat with Sarah Mills, global wholesale managing director at Telstra International, about how the company uses a mix of technologies to deliver connectivity and digital services to remote and underserved regions of Australia and the Asia-Pacific.

We specifically discuss a deployment project that Telstra launched in September 2024 on Norfolk Island, a remote region with roughly 2,000 residents, located 1,500 kilometers east of mainland Australia.

As Mills explains, prior to Telstra's involvement, Norfolk Island's source of connectivity was a submarine cable via Anson Bay and a geostationary (GEO) satellite. Service was "very slow" and "very unreliable," creating barriers to healthcare and education in particular.
