Benefits:-

Availability
The solution utilises satellite technology so any user within the service area of the actual satellite can access the service. There is no need to do line tests, postal code or telephone checks.

Always on connectivity
Broadband via satellite allows high speed and an always-on connection, ensuring quick download and upload of data and allows more efficient use of your network and valuable time. Businesses can provide users at every level of their organisation with ready access to new and better types of information. The service is truly transparent to the user. Once the solution has been installed, you will experience 24 hour, always-on, instantaneous access to the Internet. No dial-up or associated delays are incurred.

Speed
Through the open standard, the solution provides fast up and downstream speed and allows us to offer guaranteed bandwidth.

Customer services
Westlake customers have access to 24 hours, 7 days a week customer service, that will respond to any queries that you might have quickly and professionally. Businesses can instantly access technical support, raise queries and request service changes. The monitoring of their connection and data-usage also explains actual use of the system by their employees. This allows businesses to monitor their costs more closely.

Security
The satellite provider controls the end-to-end connection, which allows them to constantly monitor the network. In addition, they have firewalls at their Internet Centre and the customer site, to prevent security violations.

Open standard
Advantages of using the European two-way open DVB-RCS standard include a future proof investment, cost saving through the number and variety of vendors and the fact that many other companies are developing applications based on this standard to potentially benefit your business. Other favorable elements are the small dish size and low transmission power required due to the use of very efficient modulation/coding techniques. This results in fast access speeds and the ability to connect large numbers of PCs to a single dish.

Getting services to your business...quickly
The vast coverage of the satellite service area enables the satellite provider to provide services much quicker than terrestrial technologies and without the delays associated with cabling, switch and network upgrades.
