The Sky Muster satellites have 101 spot-beams which are focused satellite signals specially concentrated in power and cover a specific geographic area. The electromagnetic Ka-band spot beams are used to carry information from the End-users equipment on the ground to the satellites. Each satellite offers 80Gbps of bandwidth. The two satellites will provide high-speed broadband service to 400,000 Australian homes and businesses in rural and remote Australia and were designed to provide service for at least 15 years.
