 Service Overview

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 communication has the unique ability to deliver bandwidth exactly where and when it is needed, irrespective of geography and local infrastructure. It is therefore becoming the natural high speed transport medium for a wide range of IP and multimedia applications the world over, whether for consumer or business applications - and at speeds of 2Mbit/s per user for Internet access and at up to 40Mbit/s per transponder for services such as data broadcasting.

FANCOM offers a full range of Internet over Satellite products for the most different needs. This document gives you a first idea of our current offerings

Internet via Satellite: Key Benefits

 

 
Satellite services are usually activated much more quickly than terrestrial fibre. An antenna, modem and satellite circuit can be provisioned in a few weeks rather than the months it might take for a traditional fibre 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 customers pay only for what they need.

Internet on the Move
So as long as you stay within our extensive satellite footprint you can connect anywhere anytime. Invaluable for mobile units in remote areas or even if you just want to stay in touch whilst on holiday.

Scaleable Bandwidth
The service offers immediate capacity and rapid deployment, with dedicated resources and scaleable bandwidth options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

 

What is the difference between the IP-Access and IP-Connect Services?
IP-Access provides a Fast Internet Access Service on a shared basis, with three different data rates up to 2048 kbps downstream and up to 512 kbps upstream. IP-Connect is a service with a dedicated (i.e. non-shared)data rate from 64 kbs to 8 Mbps allocated exclusively to one customer.

What are the advantages of 2way2sat IP Access compared to terrestrial Internet services?
IP Access offers a broadband Internet service which is completely independent from local telco companies. The persuasive bandwidth is comparable and exceeds the performance of DSL and cable modems.
The always-on functionality and the fair-use flat rate are other important features.

What can I understand by "Fair-Use Flat Rate"?
The concept of "Fair-Use Flat Rate" applies to the IP-Access service: The subscription to the service is based on a monthly fee rather than on invoicing for the traffic on a volume basis. However, in order to guarantee a fair access for everybody in the user community sharing a common channel (one or more satellite transponders), excessive consumption (e.g. streaming media or file sharing on a peer-to-peer network for many hours) is not allowed. In case of excessive upload or download volume, the data rate will be temporarily limited and the user will downgraded on the priority level.

What are possible applications for the IP-Connect service?
IP-Connect can be used in principle for all applications which are based on IP connectivity, including: Internet access, corporate network infrastructure (WAN, VPN), digital video streaming (DVB), distance education, videoconferencing, voice over IP (VoIP).

Can I use 2way2sat to implement Voice over IP (VoIP)?
2way2sat offers the ability to implement VoIP. However, due to the long satellite path, there is an important round loop delay of typically 1.5 seconds. This needs a telephone conversation rather to be simplex, i.e. only one person speaks at a time. Nevertheless, VoIP based on 2way2sat can be an attractive alternative in geographical regions with non-existing or poor telephone infrastructure.

How do I connect a PC or a Local Area Network (LAN) to the 2way2sat terminal?
The indoor unit of the terminal provides a 10/100 Mps Ethernet Interface which allows you to directly connect a single computer (via a crossed Ethernet cable) as well as a network hub, switch, router or proxy server.

Can I connect the 2way2sat terminal to a wireless LAN (W-LAN) network?
Yes, trough the Ethernet interface it is possible to connect directly a wireless access point or wireless bridge. No access PC or workstation is needed.

How many IP addresses do you provide with each system?
In addition to the IP address of the terminal, as an option up to 13 private (static) IP addresses can be provided per station. By attributing these IP addresses to individual PCs it is possible to set-up a small Local Area Network (LAN) without the need of a router.

Do you provide public IP addresses?
For applications based on the fast Internet access service (IP Access) public addresses are generally not needed. For special applications which would need a public IP address, such an address will be provided at cost.

Can I use my existing RIPE IP Addresses for the service?
As an option, an IP-Connect customer can use the existing RIPE IP-Addresses for the 2way2sat service. The addresses are integrated into the system at cost.

Is Linux possible as primary Operating System?
The 2way2sat terminal is an independent station, with no PC needed for operation. Thus the operation system of the computers connected to the LAN is irrelevant, as long as it supports the Internet Protocol (IP). This is the case of all modern operating systems, including Linux and MAC OS.

Who can install the system?
The terminal has to be installed by a certified Eutelsat installer. Indeed special skills for installing and commissioning are needed, which go well beyond the installation of a satellite reception-only system. Fancom will advise on all installation requirements

Can I become an Eutelsat installer?
Professionals and resellers successfully completing a one-day seminar can become a certified Eutelsat installer. Prior experience in installing VSAT equipment is highly useful, but not a pre-requisite.

Who provides support for 2way2sat?
FANCOM provides free e-mail support for all customers. If needed, telephone and exceptionally on-site support is offered at cost.
