Eutelsat W3A coverage

Why W3A satellite? W3A is one of Eutelsat's most sophisticated satellites, combining Ku- and Ka-band frequencies and on-board multi-plexing (SKYPLEX). It provides pan-European and pan-African coverage while guaranteeing connectivity between the two continents.

The one VSAT access point support following services:

Broadband access to the internet (www, e-mail, ftp etc.)
Data transfer
Access to application programs
Telephone connections including VoIP, IP phone
Video-conference connections
The transfer of data, or image to many other users simultaneously

Advantages of the system:

Short set-up time, (1-2 weeks for a system)
Fast and easy upgrades
Possibility of guaranteed CIR
Transmission in almost all weather conditions

Since connectivity is established via a Linkstar hub, universal satellite modems can be used.

After service activation, data from your network or your computer will be transferred to transponders of the Eutelsat W3A satellite. A 1.8m dish is used to receive their signal.

The service includes 24h network monitoring in satellite company centres. Guaranteed uptime is 99.5% a year.

Eutelsat W3A is a perfect solution for Wi-Fi networks. Satellite brings broadband capability to your area - Wi-Fi relays the signals to antennas installed at customers’ homes, at business premises and by municipal services. In this case you can share access and costs between all users of Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi technology ("Wireless Fidelity") is used to extend the satellite Internet access facility to all interested users who have fitted their computer with a Wi-Fi card. All that is needed is a small antenna. Cabling is unnecessary. Wi-Fi uses radio-relay techniques and thus offers high bit-rates over a range of several dozen metres inside and several hundred metres outside. It is an interesting possibility for various categories of users, owing to the low cost of setting up the connection: Local authorities/municipal offices, business companies in urban areas operating over a number of different sites, branch offices in busy locations (stations, hotels, etc.), and also, of course, private individuals, the retail industry, telecommuters and so on.
