What has happened to SBAS?
I wonder if SOUTHPAN/Geosciences Australia will have a presence at Avalon Airshows Downunder 2023, so we can see where it is going, and more particularly what arrangements are being made for it to be compatible with aircraft avionics/what avionics requirements will be?
From my reading in past, it seemed will have a unique requirement, so not compatible with current SBAS receiving avionics, but I hope I am wrong.

Why?!? Just to satisfy the needs of a tiny handful of pilots in a tiny little isolated corner of the Pacific?? What a brilliant marketing strategy.. Good luck with that.
"GNSS equipment manufacturers, applications developers, and end-users should use the SouthPAN Service Definition Document and Disclaimer to implement the early Open Services from SouthPAN on their devices."

it’s irrelevant for early services only.
SBAS for SOL like aviation won’t be operational til 2028
then there will be legacy L1 SBAS plus L5 etc.
nobody makes L5 SBAS GA equipment AFAIK yet so we will just be in the same boat as everyone else.
any existing SBAS capable avionics will work just fine.
we are definitely getting state of the art and moderately future proof - plus the legacy SBAS)
my big gripe is that it’s just 10y later than it should have been.
