One-way Satellite: Business Benefits

The benefits of one-way satellite systems include very high-speed data retrieval, greater coverage – not limited by cable-based, exchange-enabled broadband and it is extremely cost effective.

Unlike conventional broadband services, Satellite is not limited to 2Mb (2048k) transfer speed. New developments will enabled us to provide 4Mb (4096k) and 8Mb (8192k) download speeds – which are becoming more essential in todays businesses for the need of higher bandwidth and faster downloads. The table below illustrates a single connection and typical results to be expected. Apply the amount of data your company’s network uses on a daily basis and the amount of users on your network to the same theory, to see how much time and money your organisation can save by the results.
