Ooredoo has announced the launch of an enhanced Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT ) service in Qatar, to connect businesses to the Internet in a faster, secure and more cost-effective manner, as the company continues to introduce new solutions for Ooredoo Supernet.
Ooredoo’s VSAT service provides business customers with reliable, fast and cost-effective Internet connectivity using the latest Ka-band VSAT technology. The use of Ka-band technology is amongst the first for Qatar, deploying small spot beams which allows frequency reuse to provide a higher throughput speed for Internet.
The service called “VSAT Internet” has been launched in partnership with Eutelsat, one of world’s leading satellite operators, using its high-performance KA-SAT’s satellite dedicated to Internet broadband.
VSAT service provides a small satellite dish (77cm) capable of both receiving and sending satellite signals. With this, business customers will enjoy download speeds of up to 22 Mbps and benefit from upload speeds of up to 6 Mbps. The VSAT services will provide communications support for a wide range of applications such as point-of-sales transactions, data processing, reservation systems, business continuity and high speed Internet access.
This new service is particularly useful for businesses in remote locations, operating effectively in the desert and coastal waters. It provides immediate access and the benefits of a flexible connectivity model and cost structure, on-demand volume booster, and a secure system with a 24/7 Network Operations Centre for constant monitoring. It is designed to deliver tailored communication services to sectors such construction, government agencies, manufacturing, news agencies, hospitality and tourism, and agricultural companies.
Waleed al-Sayed, CEO, Ooredoo Qatar, said: “We have launched the new VSAT service to ensure that Qatar’s businesses have the best connections available 24/7 anywhere in the country. We are one of the first companies in the region providing state-of-the-art Ka-band technology to ensure the fastest connectivity, and a committed information rate so that our customers know what they are paying for is what they get.”
VSAT Internet is available from QR 3,000 per month. Data Packs are also available to boost volume after consuming the 200 GB monthly data quota and customers get one fixed public IP address per link.
