Case Study: Community Enterprise Queensland boosts remote connectivity with Vocus Satellite – Starlink

Community Enterprise Queensland boosts 28 remote supermarkets with Vocus Satellite – Starlink

Community Enterprise Queensland (CEQ), a not-for-profit government organisation operating supermarkets for remote indigenous communities, faced significant connectivity challenges. Its 28 retail stores in the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula Area were hindered by geographical isolation and severe weather, which made reliable, high-bandwidth communication impractical. CEQ needed a robust and secure solution with critical redundancy to ensure the uninterrupted operation of its essential services. Vocus, with its partner AirBridge, addressed this challenge.

Vocus implemented its Vocus Satellite – Starlink service, a low-earth orbit broadband solution. AirBridge provided custom-engineered, ruggedized installations to withstand the harsh environmental conditions. This solution provided CEQ with metro-grade, high-speed, and low-latency connectivity across all its locations. The outcome for CEQ was dramatically improved reliability, enabling real-time communication and uninterrupted access to cloud applications, which is vital for supporting the remote communities it serves.
