Sat.One unveils resilient managed LEO satellite service for ANZ
Sat.One has launched Sat.One Resilient, a managed multi-constellation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite service for critical infrastructure, enterprise, and remote operations in Australia and New Zealand.
The company's latest offering is designed to address the challenges posed by the adoption of LEO satellite networks, which have become increasingly important for organisations seeking to extend communications beyond terrestrial reach. As enterprises turn to Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity, the support for high-availability and consistent performance across multiple satellite constellations is becoming more complex.
Sat.One Resilient is powered by ARGO, a software-defined edge platform developed specifically for LEO satellite operations. According to Sat.One, ARGO enables the service to anticipate and adapt to link degradation in real time, a capability not found in traditional SD-WAN solutions. The company states that this approach delivers service level agreements (SLAs) with 99.9% availability, with plans to move towards 99.99%.
Dan Fairbairn, Chief Executive Officer of Sat.One, said, "LEO connectivity is redefining what's possible for enterprise communications. But unlocking its full potential requires more than just access, it demands resilience. That's why we designed and built Sat.One Resilient from the ground up, powered by ARGO, to meet the highest expectations for performance, availability, and reach."
The managed service targets enterprise and government customers and aims to provide reliable connectivity in remote and hybrid environments. It integrates with existing customer networks, offering features such as intelligent link management, always-on multi-constellation coverage, and standardised network handoff mechanisms.
At the core of Sat.One Resilient is ARGO, which Sat.One describes as a platform capable of anticipating service degradation from factors such as weather, radio frequency interference, or satellite movement. Unlike SD-WAN products, which typically react after link quality drops, ARGO employs advanced machine learning to identify and address potential issues before they affect service quality.
Fairbairn explained, "Sat.One tested multiple SD-WAN products and found none met the performance thresholds needed for enterprise-grade LEO. Unlike SD-WAN, ARGO proactively mitigates link degradation before it impacts the user. No SD-WAN can achieve this."
By using predictive analytics and real-time corrective actions, ARGO aims to maintain packet loss below 0.1% and deliver consistent user experiences for latency-sensitive applications, including VoIP, telemetry, real-time video, and remote system control. The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into SD-WAN deployments and supports standard network protocols and industry-specific service classes, such as those provided by OneWeb.
Sat.One reports that Sat.One Resilient is already in use across government, emergency services, and resource sectors, supporting projects that require high availability and operational certainty. The solution is positioned to address increasing regulatory and operational demands in critical infrastructure sectors.
"Sat.One Resilient gives enterprise customers the certainty and performance they need," Fairbairn said. "With enterprise LEO connectivity that's managed, monitored, and mission-ready, there's no substitute. As expectations rise and policy tightens around critical infrastructure, organisations need connectivity they can trust."
The new service is available exclusively through Sat.One's network of telecommunications channel and managed service provider partners. It is designed for integration into partner offerings to deliver additional resilience for customers operating in remote areas or in need of alternative network paths in case of terrestrial outages.
Sat.One described its approach as focused on enabling customers and partners to achieve reliable communication links, regardless of location or environmental conditions.
Sat.One continues to work with technology partners and user terminal manufacturers, including Intellian, Kymeta, and Hughes, to further expand the reach and performance of its services for enterprises and communities throughout Australia and New Zealand.

New Analysis Details Government Annual Gift Of $119m To Multinational Gambling Company
Greyhound Racing New Zealand has released new analysis detailing the extent to which the Government is financially supporting a multinational gambling giant. It comes as the Government is expected this week to pass the Racing Industry Amendment Bill into law, creating a digital monopoly on gambling for Entain. The analysis, prepared by an independent consultant, details the financial help required for Entain to meet its funding guarantee of $150m per year to the racing industry. The funding guarantee, combined with a guarantee to retain approximately 450 TAB staff until June 2025, were set under the terms of the agreement when the TAB's betting business was outsourced to Entain in 2023. The analysis estimates in dollar terms the value of the Government's support to bail out Entain so it can limit its losses in meeting the terms of its deal until 2029. The passage of legislation to block New Zealanders from gambling offshore will boost Entain annual revenues by at least $75m per year. The retention of gambling on Australian greyhounds after the ban comes into effect, will preserve Entain gross betting revenues of approximately $44m per year. Without these actions by the Government, Entain would be faced with an estimated revenue deficit of $26m per year. Greyhound Racing New Zealand CEO Edward Renell said: 'The Government has chosen to bail out a multinational gambling company at the expense of ordinary Kiwis. 'It will shamelessly pass laws and create digital monopolies so Entain can meet its funding guarantees and obligations to private shareholders. 'Entain won't need to compete to win new revenue as it was brought in to do. It will be gifted it by banning Kiwis from using non-Entain betting providers and retaining gambling on Australian greyhound racing. 'The decision to keep taking money from Australian greyhound races, but strip thousands of regional Kiwis of their livelihoods and passion, is depressingly cynical and hypocritical. 'Gross income of $44 million dollars each year will now be sliced up between the Government, Entain and the equine codes and not go to the thousands of trainers, owners, and breeders involved in greyhound racing. 'It's a reverse Robin Hood. The Government is taking money from the provinces to save face on a bad deal and keep the money flowing into Entain, thoroughbred and harness racing.' Notes: Timeline of Entain – TAB deal: March 2023: TAB and Entain agreed to enter a strategic partnership agreement where TAB has delegated its betting and wagering functions to Entain. May 2023: The partnership was approved by then Racing Minister Labour's Kieran McAnulty, outsourcing TAB's monopoly betting operation to Entain for 25 years, a UK-listed multinational. 50% revenue share between Entain and the TAB. May 2023: TAB sought a variation to its authorisation of its arrangements with Tabcorp to reflect strategic partnership with Entain. June 2023: The partnership officially started on June 1, 2023. Entain Guarantees under the terms of sale: Entain provided TAB $150 million upfront a with a guaranteed $150 million for the first five years. $10 million sponsorship for racing carnivals. On passage of the Racing Amendment bill into law: $100 million payment from Entain, $80 million to be shared between thoroughbred and harness racing Entain committed to no forced redundancies for first 24 months of the agreement, due to expire this month (June 2025). Book value of Entain's TAB licence assets, if the Racing Amendment legislation goes through: According to Entain's March 2025 annual report, the estimated value of the New Zealand TAB licence assets was $2.7 billion NZD, including the potential introduction of the legislation. About GRNZ Greyhound Racing New Zealand is the governing body for greyhound racing in New Zealand and provides governance, support and assistance to the affiliated clubs in the sport of greyhound racing. The decision to end greyhound racing has significant economic and social consequences. The sport provides 1,054 full-time equivalent jobs and contributed $159.2 million to the economy in FY23. The Government announced on 10 December 2024, an intention to legislate to ban greyhound racing in New Zealand from 31 July 2026. Visit for more information.

Satellite IoT market to reach USD $4.7 billion by 2030
New research from IoT Analytics projects that the global market for satellite IoT connectivity and equipment will reach USD $4.7 billion by 2030, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26% over the forecast period. The IoT Analytics Satellite IoT Market Report 2025–2030 underpins this analysis, highlighting that the number of satellite IoT connections stood at 7.5 million globally in 2024. This figure is set to increase considerably as technological advances continue to influence the sector and demand for connectivity in remote areas strengthens. Growth factors The report identifies five primary drivers behind this projected market expansion. These include ongoing reductions in the cost of satellite technology thanks to technological advancements, the adoption of multi-orbit and hybrid network strategies by providers, the emergence and adoption of standardised connectivity protocols, significant government investments in satellite initiatives and mega-constellations, and the increasing use of satellite connectivity in automotive and transportation industries. According to IoT Analytics, these factors collectively create an environment in which satellite IoT can play a vital role in global connectivity, especially in regions and industries where traditional wired or cellular solutions are not viable. Industry context Satellite IoT currently accounts for just 7.5 million of the 18 billion total IoT devices, but the capabilities it brings to remote and hard-to-reach environments are seen as crucial. Knud Lasse Lueth, Chief Executive Officer at IoT Analytics, commented: 7 million satellite IoT connections may look small next to 18 billion total IoT devices, but they solve the hardest problem in connectivity: Reaching the places where nothing else works. With falling launch costs, open standards and hybrid multi-orbit networks, it has become the final puzzle piece for truly ubiquitous, global connectivity, and we expect the segment to grow 20%+ annually over the next 5-10 years. The market is undergoing a transformation as proprietary and non-standardised systems give way to open, multi-technology approaches. Satyajit Sinha, Principal Analyst at IoT Analytics, added: The satellite IoT market is evolving from proprietary, non-standardized systems—each tailored to a vendor's own connectivity stack—toward a standardized, multi-technology landscape that includes 3GPP NB-NTN, NR-NTN, LoRaFHSS, and mioty. This shift is drawing in both traditional satellite providers and new players from the cellular and unlicensed LPWAN domains, who are adopting open standards to stay competitive. On the other end, Starlink is accelerating disruption by leveraging its capital scale and low-cost architecture to position itself as both a satellite backhaul provider and a direct IoT connectivity vendor. The result is a more competitive market—defined by open, hybrid architectures where interoperability, scale, and flexibility are now the key levers of success. These changes in technology and business approach are broadening the scope of satellite IoT beyond traditional sectors such as maritime and aviation, driving increased participation from diverse industry stakeholders. Return on investment With the shift in market focus and growing investment, the consideration of return on investment (ROI) becomes increasingly important. Kalpesh Baviskar, Analyst at IoT Analytics, provided further context: ROI is central—for both satellite operators and end-users. Historically, satellite IoT was limited by infrastructure and focused on high-margin sectors like maritime and aviation. Now, rising demand for broadband is driving major investments, but operators will prioritize consumer and enterprise markets first due to higher ARPU. As networks scale, some capacity will support IoT. The key question for users is whether the cost of satellite modules and subscriptions is justified by the value of the data. In high-impact use cases like remote monitoring, the ROI can make sense—but only if the economics align. According to IoT Analytics, this emerging market is witnessing increased attention from both investors and end-users, spurred by the potential value satellite IoT can generate in critical use cases. Decisions on network investments and adoption are increasingly being evaluated in terms of economic viability and the operational benefit derived from access to new streams of data in otherwise unconnected environments. The Satellite IoT Market Report 2025–2030 details these and other findings, providing comprehensive insights into connectivity trends, sector-specific drivers, and projections for the years ahead. The full report is available for purchase, and key findings have been made available in a public research article. Follow us on: Share on:
