RE: VSAT Access Providers

[Brian Longwe <brian at pch.net>]

Problem with Ku in some areas is interference from climatic conditions -
which should affect your choice of provider - based on the strength and
intensity of their satellite footprint in your locality.

Another factor is the amount of bandwidth you require. If you are going in
excess of 10Mbps - you might want to consider C-Band SCPC.

..... the best thing to do is get a list of a number of sat companies,
write to them and start a dialogue - you will learn a lot this way ;-)

Thanks,

Brian
