SkyFrames Broadband Services

SkyFrames Broadband Services provide high performance two-way satellite based broadband connectivity which is especially appropriate for rural communities or for organisations with sites in remote locations.

The service is based around a SkyFrames developed star-topology VSAT network which uses a DVB-S forward link and a proprietary return link. Forward link data rates to remote sites are between 2 and 72 Mb/s whilst return link data rates from remote sites are between 16 and 384 kb/s. New technology being introduced will allow reliable return link data rates from remote sites to be increased to 2 Mb/s. The network supports all IP transport protocols including TCP/IP, UDP/IP, unicast and multicast addressing.

Particularly useful when providing conmnectivity for rural communities is the ability to connect a wireless data system base station or EDSL network to the SkyFrames Remote Gateway, allowing the service (and hence costs) to be shared between many users. The wireless data system can, for example, be used to provide services to users located up to 13 km from the Remote Gateway. Increased interest in VoIP, web conferencing and GSM Cellular Point of Presence is projected to increase revenue growth for SkyFrames.
