BUNDABERG residents are no strangers to natural disasters and the struggles that come with being able to stay in touch with family.
But thanks to two new NBN Skymuster satellites, residents can stay better connected with loved ones during a natural disaster.
One of the units has been installed already at the Bundaberg Multiplex, with the second to be installed at the Bundaberg Recreational Precinct on Kendalls Rd.
Head of NBN Local in Queensland Kylie Lindsay said the satellites would provide Wi-Fi connectivity to anyone within the vicinity of the buildings and would also allow for Wi-Fi calling.

Resources and energy exports remain robust
The outlook for Australia’s resource and energy exports has improved over the past three months, as global economic activity rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic, with resources and energy exports to remain robust after earning a record $291 billion in 2019-20.
The December Resources and Energy Quarterly forecasts resources and energy exports will earn $279 billion for Australia in 2020-21, and $264 billion in 2021-22, up by $22 billion and $12 billion respectively from the September quarter forecasts, with improved global economic activity set to drive even stronger demand.
Minister for Resources, Water and Northern Australia Keith Pitt said the figures, compiled by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, underlined the resilience of Australia’s resources sector, with record forecasts for iron ore and gold offsetting lower returns for coal and LNG.
