Why satellite?

For transmitting large amounts of data or multimedia from point-to-point or among multiple sites, where flexibility, scalability and ease of deployment are a main concern, satellite is the best option.

Distance insensitive, flexible, rapidly deployable

Satellite connections transcend physical barriers and span geographic distances better than ground-based networks, and can be established almost immediately, virtually anywhere. In addition, satellite links are cost effective, as users pay for only the capacity they need, rather than building costly infrastructure that could in the future go underused or prove inadequate.

A natural for broadcast and multicast

Satellite's unique ability to transmit the same signal to all points within a geographic area makes it ideal for broadcasting television and radio signals, and for multicasting data for applications as diverse as corporate networks, government missions and internet surfing.

Application agnostic

ASTRA can provide satellite connectivity to suit any application for media organisations, enterprises and ISPs. Whether it is for television and radio broadcasting or contribution, corporate VSAT networks or internet trunking, our fleet of high-performance satellites can take multimedia content and information where and when business demands.
