Satellite broadband is a key component in Africa’s B2B connectivity mix. Now it’s a step closer

While the satellite industry will remain a niche environment best suited to be developed by specialist service providers, the industry is undergoing major developments, is increasing in performance and lowering cost says Q-KON.

Why even consider satellite as a communication medium? Simple: Because it works, it's reliable and it is the best cost alternative says Q-KON.

The Twoobii solution was also specifically engineered to support the implementation of IP telephony services using VoIP technology. Q-KON offers a brief outline of what is required to implement the solution.

The very first perspective we should consider to truly understand the satellite services industry is revenue, and revenue potential, says Q-KON.

If Twoobii was a country, it would rank #75 globally and #15 in bub-Saharan Africa as per the Cable.co.uk survey, at $3,50/GB, claims Q-KON.

South Africa's Internet penetration is three percentage points above the Southern African average, and one percentage point above the global average, according to Q-KON.

As an experienced "off-grid" solutions and services provider, Q-KON has the resources to offer highly specialised Managed Services as well as options for Broadband Services.

One of South Africa's largest banks uses satellite connectivity as very high availability back-up, for trusted ATM and point-of-sale or as a failsafe for disaster recovery connectivity, says Dawie de Wet, CEO of Q-KON.

In a world first, Q-KON successfully deployed a satellite Regional Node solution to provide critical primary and backup communication for a financial VSAT network in Swaziland.

The continent's satellite industry is evolving at a rapid pace and with the change there is opportunity... if you know where to look.
