The National Broadcasting Corporation [NBC] headquarters office in Port Moresby has done its first installation of a Starlink unit today.

NBC is one of the first organizations to order 10 units from Lightspeed, the Starlink reseller.

It is a part of the organization's ongoing digital transition to improve operations and service delivery to its listeners and viewers as well as its in-house business back-end support.

Deputy Managing Director, Michael Samuga, confirmed that the other 9-unit installation will be deployed to NBC locations within Port Moresby and outside provinces.

Mr Samuga says, "There is a plan already in place for other units to be ordered.

"They will be deployed into the country basically to enhance our service delivery and our business back-end support."

Mr Samuga thanked the Board and senior management for this foresight. He said the organisation is looking forward to improved service delivery and stronger back-end business support for the media organization's operations.
