As Intenet usage statistics show, each Internet surfer needs high
speed download rather that high speed upload. Based on this we created
our One Way service to meet the needs of Internet users. Architecture
is that client has a very low bandwidth connection to the Internet
from a local ISP (which is sufficient), and receives the Internet
content at fantastic speeds through his satellite dish. This technology
is called "asymmetrical" satellite access because the
outgoing requests are sent via terrestrial lines and incoming data
is transmitted by the satellite.
As illustrated below, when client browses the Internet his requests
are sent via local ISP directly to the NOC, NOC processes the request
and sends out the data at high speed to client's satellite dish
via satellite.
There are several advantages which make the One Way
service so powerful:
High speed is technically possible, whereas it is impossible with
telephone lines. If conditions are good, it can reach up to 1.5
mbps and higher for each user.
Our NOC maintains multiple high bandwidth fiber connections to the
Internet, much faster than connections of regional "telephone"
ISPs. We have direct connections to the major Internet transit providers,
such as UUNet / Worldcom, Reach, NTT / Verio, HKIX. And this high
bandwidth connection is delivered to our customers via satellite.
One Way service is a cost effective solution of high speed interactive
access to the Internet of users in regions with undeveloped terrestrial
communications infrastructure.
Buying our service provides a significant increase of bandwidth
and informational resourses of the Internet for ISPs, corporate
and individual users avoiding a large scale re-engineering of existing
communication systems. The upfront hardware costs do not exceed
$350, whereas building fiber network costs millions of dollars in
upfront investments.
Our subscribers are geographically located in different time zones,
therefore we don't have distinct "peak hours"
