The station will feature two 13.5-meter diameter satellite dishes. <\/p>\n<p>The station will be located in Broken Hill, NSW, which offers ideal climate and reliable power infrastructure. Additionally, it is close to NBN\u2019s core fiber network. <\/p>\n<p>This is the ninth of 10 facilities across the Australian territory announced to support NBN\u2019s long-term satellite services, which will start operations in 2015. Two new satellites will be launched that year to improve the speed of the service. This station will be the last one built by Cockram Corporation, which already built five other. Perkins will build the rest of the facilities in Western Australia. The total cost for all 10 stations is approximately $185 million. <\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" align=\"absMiddle\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/Assets\/Image\/FullStoryArrow.png\">&nbsp;Full story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tags: Australia, Satellite Ground Station, National Broadband Network Publication Date: 11\/15\/2012 NASA\u2019s Mars Odyssey spacecraft passes above Mars\u2019 south pole in this artist\u2019s concept illustration.
