  Satellite Connectivity in Africa is pretty popular, particularly the VSAT system. Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) is ideal for providing in internet coverage to remote areas of the region. Much like any other mobile communication technology, VSAT system also requires a frequency for operation.   VSAT C and Ku-bands are the two main bands for VSAT communications.   C-band is ideally chosen for locations where there is heavy rainfall, such as tropical regions of Africa. C-band is known to be less focused in comparison to higher satellite frequencies like the Ku-band. This happens due to the longer wavelength in C band. Having less focused signals means that they are less affected by rain. Ku band, on the other hand, is perfect for situations there is a limited area for installation, as it features a smaller dish size and is easy to install. From a commercial standpoint, Ku-band can be better for satellite applications that requires smaller bandwidth, as the equipme...

  Any person living in a remote region would know the problem that comes with having limited options for telecommunications and Internet connectivity. In these situations, VSAT or Very Small Aperture Terminals is the choice for many for Broadband Solutions . VSAT has been particularly designed for remote regions, and can offer dependable internet service for both personal and professional use. A geosynchronous satellite that floats on a fixed spot relative to the ground can cover a third of the surface of the earth with its beam, and subsequently offer connectivity to a pretty expansive region. A satellite can also focus on a certain high density region.   This system maintained by VSAT networks makes it possible for to deliver seamless internet connectivity to people even in the remotest parts of the world, including rural areas, ships, coastal regions, hills, and mountains. In many of these places there is limited or no terrestrial connectivity, and hence VSAT Services co...
