WHY SATELLITE?

As Internet traffic continues to grow at exponential rates worldwide, Internet services providers (ISP's) everywhere are faced with the challenge of keeping up with demand for network bandwidth and developing creative solutions for squeezing more use out of existing bandwidth. Satellite-based Internet connections are one of those solutions. VSAT has offered ISP's and telecommunications service providers easily scalable, cost-effective Internet access since 1989.

Key Benefits

FASTER INSTALLATION

Satellite services are usually activated much more quickly than terrestrial fiber. An antenna, modem and satellite circuit can be provisioned in a few weeks rather than the months it might take for a traditional fiber installation. As a network grows, additional capacity can be obtained in just as short a time.

BETTER NETWORK PERFORMANCE

Satellite connections enhance network performance by linking directly to an Internet backbone, bypassing congested terrestrial lines and numerous router hops. In addition, dedicated space segment, local loop circuits and ports into a major Internet backbone mean ISP's do not share infrastructure, another reason for slow or degraded connections over the traditional fiber line.

LOWER NETWORK COSTS

The broadcast nature of satellites allows for the simultaneous delivery of information to wide geographic areas without regard to terrestrial infrastructure or geographic barriers. This translates into a pricing structure that is distance insensitive, keeping costs down for international ISP's. In addition, satellite capacity is easily matched to actual traffic patterns, meaning ISP's pay only for what they need.
