Satellite Internet access is Internet access provided through communications satellites. HGT's privete modern consumer grade satellite Internet service is typically provided to individual users through geostationary satellites that can offer high data speeds, with newer satellites offering downstream data speeds up to 506 Mbit/s.
One of the biggest advantages of satellite internet is that no matter where you are in Africa, running a mine in the middle of the bush, hundreds of kilometres from anywhere, you can still get a fast realiable internet connection.
So long as you have a power source you can get an internet connection. Power can be provided by solar panels if your location is so remote, that there are no power lines.
HGT can offer you a connection to our private connection as we have space available on the satellites positioned positioned all over Africa.
Optical fiber is a type of transparent fiber that is capable of transporting light at high speed. As a rule of thumb, light travels at about 200,000 kilometers per second through an optical fiber. Optical fibers have a pure glass or plastic core wrapped in a cladding material. The following are common applications for optical fiber.
