[AusNOG] Internet PNG

[Minchin, Tom (IM&T, Black Mountain)]

Just a heads up from experience in the past, if the internet provider does not have PNG govt approval you risk equipment confiscation, fines etc.

Eg https://www.nbc.com.pg/post/14296/starlink-license-under-court-review (or in the past https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/154953/png-police-shut-down-unlicensed-australian-satellite-link)

Starlink for sure.

My wife is a travelling nurse and doctor in PNG and does trips every few months. It's widely used over there, They have a backpack with a Starlink mini inside it. It's GPS Tracked using one of my designed GPS Trackers.
Yes, Theft is a major issue, They have had medical supplies and laptops stolen. But be vigilant and it's typically a non issue.

Another alternative is AirAlo, I have used them extensively on Global SIM cards They are great value and offer Private IPSEC Tunnels to your own network (As long as you buy enough)
