Communication resources in remote Australia are:
- expensive to install because of the large distances and sparse
user network
- difficult to maintain because of the harsh climatic conditions
(heat and dust) and the
- need for specialised technicians to travel large distances to
affect repairs
- difficult to reposition because of the overhead costs
- do not provide a high capacity data network.
SAND is designed to alleviate many of these shortcomings.
A commercialisation prospectus for SAND will be available
shortly.
