Why Satellite Internet from VSAT Systems 

Why Satellite Internet

A True Single-Vendor Solution Saves Money and Hassles.

Our satellite Internet service covers North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, so you are never forced to negotiate with various local telco and cable companies for broadband Internet access for each remote office, or to use multiple vendors to patch together a national primary or backup network.

Your company will save time and money by having a single vendor to contact for all billing or technical support issues. For example, a single technical contact prevents vendors from blaming each other for problems and ultimately results in higher efficiency for your organization by providing more network-wide uptime.

You Need It When?

You know it takes weeks, sometimes months, to get a terrestrial broadband connection installed. Sometimes it takes that long before the provider admits that it cannot be delivered at all. What a mess. With VSAT Systems, you order it, you get it, and generally within 15 days or less for customers with fewer than 25 sites.

It Works With What You Already Have

Satellite Internet from VSAT Systems does not require the user to have any particular type of software, hardware or network. Our single-box platform meshes with any combination of PCs, Macs, UNIX or mainframe computers. It will plug into your network and perform.

Scalable Capacity

Adding capacity can be handled remotely, meaning your satellite Internet can easily grow as your company grows. Need a temporary increase for a special situation? No problem.

Productivity

Your employees don't waste time waiting for downloads. They don't waste time slow-surfing for answers. E-mails get where they are going quicker, files are transferred faster and databases are updated sooner. It's all a boost for employee morale and productivity.

A Maturing Industry

The satellite industry started out -- literally -- as rocket science. With satellite TVs, you saw the early adopters and their huge, yard-eating dishes. As satellite technology improved, prices dropped, antenna size dropped, and by the time the World Wide Web came along, there were companies ready to offer Internet via satellite.

Once again there were early adopters, and once again customers had systems that used a satellite broadcast for downloads, but needed telephones for sending things back upstream. We are quite pleased to report that technological improvements make some of the earlier systems seem as quaint as steam boats. By entering the market at this time, you’ve let other companies suffer the travails of bleeding-edge technology. VSAT Systems is offering tested, reliable products in a maturing industry.

VSAT Systems 2Mbps Uploads

Most satellite Internet services are not optimized to support any real upload performance. That is because all of the major satellite Internet services were designed for the consumer market, which consists mainly of downloading with a far lesser amount of uploading. As these services were eventually re-worked to create small business products, the upload problems have remained. Not a problem here -- our satellite Internet service was built specifically and exclusively for the commercial user.

Our lowest level of satellite Internet service provides about twice the upload speed and performance as that of the highest levels of service on the Direcway and Starband business grade systems.

You will especially appreciate our service if you:
   • send out large files (CAD or engineering drawings)
   • upload video
   • use applications like Citrix or Exchange
   • use VPN
   • have more than 5 concurrent users.
