Key
Benefits of Satellite Communications
Small
businesses, schools, remote farms, NGOs, UN agencies,
Internet Service Providers, air traffic controllers,
financial services, banks, supermarkets and other enterprises
in Africa choose Alldean VSAT satellite networks for
a number of key reasons:
|
Multicast
Content Distribution
Satellite's
inherent strengths as a broadcast medium makes it ideal
for the distribution of bandwidth-intensive information
- data, video or audio - to large numbers of remote
locations.
To
send a file to 1,000 recipients over a terrestrial network
requires sending 1,000 separate and identical messages,
each of which consumes valuable bandwidth and server
resources. They are also likely to arrive at different
locations at different times.
Satellite
IP multicasting, on the other hand, can simultaneously
deliver content to a virtually unlimited number of end-user
locations - at speeds up to 40 Mbps. By eliminating
duplicate transmissions, Alldean's multicast technology
maximizes the efficiency of existing servers and networks,
and frees up valuable bandwidth
