Traditional lnternet applications such as web browsing, e-mail and file transfer involve the transfer of information between a single sender and one or more receivers. This point-to-point topology is well served by the lnternet architecture, having been developed efficient terrestrial communications. Today, new applications are creating novel demands on networks everywhere. As unidirectional bandwidth demands increase, coupled with information sharing applications, a more efficient means of point-to-multipoint is needed.

Enterprise Telephony Service Much effort has been made in the past to provide high quality data communication links via satellite. These links connect remote locations in developing countries with corporate offices world-wide. Satellite based services have proven to be economical and reliable, contributing greatly to the growth of satellite communications. Telephony (voice & fax) applications, on the other hand, have often been relegated to secondary status, and where implemented, are added to a data network as an after-thought. Now, a new and cost-effective satellite solution is at hand.

Advantages Of Broadcast:

• Links for Governments/Embassies

One of the most economical and flexible methods to connect one or more remote sites to an organisation's own voice network is to use thin route satellite links. Connecting through Gateway Earth Station into the users own telephony network, thin-route satellite circuits be become a seamless part of the network. The remote site can also access various PSTN services via the Gateway. Making calls between head-quarters and remote offices is now as easy as calling any other extension within the network.

Advantages Of Thin Route Telephony:

• Reliable & secure quality service
• Access to PPTN
• Voice, fax and low-rate data
• Single-hop, World-wide reach
• Quick and economical to install
• Easy capacity expansion
• Gateway to Rooftop

Exceptional efficiency in the utilisation of space segment is achieved. Coupled with quality of service appropriate to the users needs. Thin Route-Telephony is an attractive option for any customer looking for cost-effective digital technology, combined with modest up-front investments to provide the extended reach so essential in today’s business.
