Future-proofing with fast data
From 2020, the Sunshine Coast will deliver the fastest telecommunications connection to Asia from the east coast and the second fastest to the United States thanks to a new international submarine cable.
With future-proof capacity, the new cable will increase data transmission speed, reduce risk and lead to a reduction in international communications costs for business and consumers.
Sunshine Coast Council is the first local government in Australia to invest in an international submarine cable which will connect to the new Maroochydore City Centre.
The cable will provide up to A$927 million in new investment in Queensland and up to 864 new jobs.
It’s no wonder that it’s one of Australia’s most desirable regions to live and work.
