Afrikanet - AfrikaSatNew: June 2006 This company provides Internet connection by Satellite wherever you are in Africa in the satellite beam coverages shown, using 1.20m, 1.80m or 2.40m diameter dishes. Availability is in C-Band or Ku band satellite beam coverages as shown on the right:: C-Band: iDirect Infinity Series 3100 or 5100 modems on the Intelsat IS-903 satellite. C band (using the 4 and 6 GHz frequency bands) is less affected by rain and is ideal for service in very high rainfall locations, but does generally need a larger size satellite dish and much more substantial mounting arrangements. Ku band: iDirect Infinity Series 3100 modems or Viasat Linkstar modems on the
Eutelsat W3A satellite. Ku band is ideal for low or moderate rainfall
areas and the lower cost, ease of transport and installation of the smaller
dish make it attractive. The high power of the Eutelsat satellite
helps to minimise rain affects. WiFi HotSpot and WLan bridges are available to extend the reach of your VSAT within your business or local community, thus sharing the cost of your VSAT internet connection.
