Satellite ISP VAR Costs

To become a VAR there are significant costs associated with maintaining a sufficient inventory of merchandise and spare parts and managing customer relationships. Having a technically competent staff to provide Tier I Tech Support also requires training and expenditures. In some areas near the edge of the footprint, a standard 1.0 or 1.2 meter dish will not be sufficient and a 1.8 or 2.4 meter dish may be required for good reception and rain performance.

Let us explain

As a VAR, you are required to have installation technicians that have been certified by VSAT Systems trainers. The VAR must receive product training and training for technical support employees. You can expect to make a significant investment in initial inventory purchases and training. The total upfront cost as a satellite Internet VAR averages $25,000-$50,000.

The costs to get started vary, but a significant investment in time, financial and other resources can be expected. If your business model does not support providing these services, you may wish to work with an established VSAT Systems VAR as a dealer. You can always convert to the VSAT Systems VAR program at a later date.

Being a VAR is one of several ways that VSAT Systems can help you achieve your business goals. As a VAR, the operational costs and wholesale rates are revised periodically depending on aggregate monthly billing. The discount rate could be as high as 30% providing potential for additional profits. Have a look at some of our current VARs to get a better understanding of what’s in store for you.
