Vox’s Kathleen Morris says partnerships are changing the face of satellite broadband, with smart GEO satellite technology enabling African businesses to customize their connectivity and delivering fast solutions that are reliable, functional and cost-effective. It explains that it can be created.
Commercial satellite industry revenue increased to $285 billion in 2023. Satellites, which account for 71% of the world’s space business and provide increasingly sophisticated services and connectivity, are becoming more affordable and accessible. Over the past year, a record number of satellites have been deployed in a growing sector that McKinsey describes as a $1.8 trillion opportunity. Space seems to have finally become a new frontier.
Traditionally, GEO has not always been the best connectivity choice. Satellite broadband is primarily relied on by businesses that do not have easy access to alternative connectivity solutions, but has been expensive due to its limited bandwidth and low latency. Its incredible reach is both a limitation and an advantage. That was the case until recently.
Partnerships are changing the face of satellite broadband. This connectivity technology is rapidly evolving from a high-cost, complex service to a solution for enterprises that require high availability and performance off-grid. Smart GEO technology satellite providers offer businesses exactly what they need.
It’s the ability to create VPN and MPLS networks, prioritize applications, and access fast, reliable connections that meet your needs. If you want to segment your traffic, prioritize your traffic, run SD-WAN, reduce latency, and build high-performance, cost-effective connectivity anywhere, you can do it now.
This new dimension of business satellite services offers businesses real value for their investment. Too often the conversation surrounding GEO satellites is about technology and the race to space. It’s a who’s who of satellites debating market dominance. The real conversation is about the value this technology brings to businesses in the field.
More importantly, it is built to meet the expectations of rural South African businesses. Local means thinking outside the box. Businesses want to know how this satellite connection will be maintained, what support will be available, and what backups and fail-safes will be included. They need to know if the technology is scalable and can realistically deliver the quality of broadband connectivity they need to run their business.
It’s built to solve the connectivity challenges felt by businesses looking to get more out of their connectivity, no matter where they operate.
For example, Andre Kock and Sons, a livestock auction company, needed a connectivity solution to easily communicate between its remote operations. The company relied on two-way radio service, which had limited range and could not provide connectivity between farms in different regions.
The challenge was to find a way to connect two-way radio towers in different locations so that they could communicate instantly.
Q-KON’s Twoobii smart satellite service proved to be ideal for this problem. The company used this service to connect two-way radio towers in various locations into one central network. Satellite helps mines build more agile connectivity solutions, and with Twoobii they can add even more value to their investment.
The platform is optimized for off-grid users who have limited or no access to mainstream solutions such as LTE, fiber, and microwave networks, and is reliable, fast, and easy to access. . It is compatible with Layer 2, Layer 3, and customized enterprise solutions to provide enterprises with an underlay to SD-WAN and public clouds.
Add to the technology benefits pay-as-you-go, on-demand billing, and other application-focused commercial models, and end users can choose the exact solution with both performance and cost in mind. It also has the added benefits of extremely high service uptime of +99.95%, seamless core customer network integration, and 100% resiliency from tower and other infrastructure locations.
Smart satellite services are the perfect solution for retail POS transactions, large-scale field surveillance networks, and local government operations.
Technology capabilities are only part of the conversation. Service level agreements, support, control, and the ability to apply solutions on satellites to meet real business needs.
By combining Q-KON’s reach and scale with Twoobiii’s capabilities, Vox ensures that businesses in any industry or sector, regardless of location, can operate efficiently with connectivity optimized for their unique needs. Masu. And this is invaluable at a time when digital is key to regional and global growth.
