Optus has extended its long standing partnership with media company Foxtel, with an extension for the provision of satellite services until 2031.
Optus Satellite owns and operates Australia and New Zealand’s largest fleet of spacecraft with five satellites currently in geostationary orbit that service our broadcast, corporate, and government customers.
The contract extension, along with efficiencies agreed with Foxtel, reaffirms Optus Satellite’s leading position in the ANZ satellite market.
Foxtel has partnered with Optus since 1998 to deliver their premium live sport, movies, drama, news and entertainment content – including Australia’s only dedicated, live 4K broadcast channel – to both regional and metropolitan areas across two Optus satellites in orbit over Australia.

As we look to the future of the satellite business, this expanded services agreement builds on our legacy of delivering world-class satellite services and further strengthens Optus’ position as Australia and New Zealand’s leading provider of satellite services.
