Kacific Broadband Satellites will offer high speed satellite broadband services to 40 million people in the Pacific. Many Internet users in Indonesia, Myanmar, the Pacific islands, New Zealand and PNG have no direct Internet service. Despite a willingness to pay in these markets, the vast distances separating pockets of population have made connectivity economically challenging.
Kacific will address the supply gap with a geostationary Ka-band satellite using state-of-the-art multi-beam high throughput communications, streaming direct to simple antenna terminals on end users’ premises.
The company already has multi-million dollar bandwidth presales agreements with telcos and governments of several nations. Kacific will launch two satellites in 2017.
Please to Kacific’s CEO, Mr Christian Patouraux to find out more.

1,000km, sustainable, efficient , no onboard pilot: How ‘Gap Drone ’ is rewriting the rules of remote logistics
Can autonomous drones solve Australia’s “tyranny of distance”? GAP Drone CEO Liesl Haris thinks so. With the launch of ATLAS—an autonomous transport logistics aircraft system—the company is bypassing traditional infrastructure to deliver 50kg payloads over 1,000km. Dubbed the “Uber of airfreight,” GAP Drone is tackling the “too hard basket” of remote logistics, partnering with Australia Post to provide First Nations communities and regional hubs with reliable, low-cost access to medicine, food, and economic opportunity. By operating within current regulatory frameworks and utilising a “no-runway” launch model, GAP Drone is transforming air freight from an expensive luxury into a scalable utility.
