The network launch will follow recent deregulations of the telecom industry in Qatar. The market has opened the door for satellite internet providers to meet the ever growing demand for extra bandwidth for a variety of enterprise communications and government needs in the country. Now QSAT can offer even more advanced services to rural areas. Thereby fixing the communications gap in the region’s rapidly growing market, where terrestrial service is for most people still a bridge too far.

The new network plans to deliver next-generation performance for VPN‘s (virtual private networks) and other applications that customers rely on for modern business. The new network will enable efficient allocation of bandwidth capacity from the satellite to its base of customers. Higher Quality of Service is possible by automatically adjusting. This way typical conditions such as rain fade that often cause service degradation in Africa and other tropical regions can be overcome.

“Critical enterprise and government applications, including rural telecommunications, telemedicine, VPN’s and distance learning create a growing demand for extra bandwidth capacity. Upcoming markets begin to realize the astronomic service and cost advantages of using VSAT. iDirect provides all those benefits with advanced features that enable the offering of higher SLA‘s (Service Level Agreements) to meet the ever growing demands of customers.”
