UK satellite broadband service providers and installers
My page about European service provider companies, has become full so here is a spill over list of additional useful references with emphasis on companies based in the UK providing installations for England, Wales and Scotland.
Home users and small businesses requiring internet access from remote locations should consider satellite communications if high speed terrestrial landline or mobile phone systems do cover your area well. The least expensive VSAT services are shared, where a number of customers share the same high speed download capacity (up to 20 Mbit/s). Dedicated capacity is available for business purposes such as uplinking outside broadcast TV, connection of ATM cash machines, monitoring of remote pipelines, weather stations etc.
Avanti-Hylas and Tooway™ are large Ku band network systems based on multi-spot beam satellites, with customer equipment available via local resellers/installers. There are many other companies able to configure worldwide networks. Think of embassy networks, military, logistics and multi-national businesses with remote offices.
This page is not-paid for adverts. The companies listed, free-of-charge, are simply at my discretion and with the agreement of the company concerned. Comments and suggestions for more companies welcome. Please tell me if any appear to have gone out of business. eric@satsig.net
