Unparalleled Reliability
Satellite communication is known for its reliability advantages over any terrestrial connections,
as it runs totally independent of any local last mile terrestrial infrastructure.
Terrestrial infrastructure is prone to theft, vandalism, natural disasters and long-term
network outages.

In short – exactly the same way your satellite TV connections works. A Satellite dish is installed on
the outside of your building and connected to a Modern on the inside of your house. A Small Wi-Fi
router is positioned next to the modem so that your devices can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. The
Satellite dish is positioned so that it has a clear line of sight to the orbiting satellite above. The
satellite is positioned in a North Easterly facing position.
Yes, there is an option to have a telephone service, using VoIP, on the Satellite Broadband. Please
make sure you select a VoIP enabled bandwidth plan.
Certain entertainment applications are successfully supported by Satellite Broadband. You can
stream Netflix and YouTube, within the limitations of latency and the correct quality settings on the
streaming platform. You must ensure that you set the quality settings of your streaming application
to the lowest possible setting. If this is not done you will consume your data rapidly and whatever Fair
Usage Policy will be reached and activated sooner than you expect. Streaming applications use huge
amounts of data. To access South African based streaming applications, you will need a South African
facing IP and this will be supplied at an additional charge.
How much Data does online streaming use?
If you opt to stream videos in higher resolution at 60 frames per second, the data usage increases to
1.86GB per hour for 720p, 3.04GB per hour at 1080p, and 15.98GB per hour for videos in 4K
How many hours does it take to use 1gb of data?
1GB (or 1024MB) of data lets you send or receive about 1 000 emails and browse the Internet for
about 20 hours every month.
So 200GB you can send 200 000 emails, browse 4 000 hours of Internet which is approximately 5
months of Internet searches.
200GB at 720p or 60 Frames per second is approximately 106 movies a month, this is 5 hours a day
of watching movies – every day of the week.
Online Gaming has limitations, but turn-based games work effectively. These games are defined as
casino games and strategy games, such as chess. However, the majority of real-time, multi-player,
first person shooting games played on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation will not work over any satellite
internet service, due to the latency or delay.
Interactive online gaming
Generally, any application that requires client software to be loaded at the remote site, are latency
sensitive, unless adjustments are made at both the client and the server end
UDP – The eUDP protocol cannot be accelerated because it is not a connection-based protocol
NetBIOS – This is a LAN technology that cannot be accelerated as it is not designed to function in a
WAN environment
Drive-mapping – is not supported over satellite except through a VPN tunnel
RDP (Citrix) and RCP (Exchange) can be slow over a satellite connection
Citrix – it is also latency sensitive and will generally function poorly over Satellite

Standard Installation defined:
The antenna installation is to an outside wall using a standard Paratus supplied wall mount bracket.
The antenna is mounted at a minimum of 2 meters off the ground and out of reasonable reach.
The installation location is not more than 3 meters above ground level and excludes the use of any scaffolding or extended ladders.
Wall mount brackets cannot be mounted on a surface that cannot support the bracket and the antenna hardware.
A standard installation excludes any efforts to structurally reinforce walls and roofs, removal of any trees and landscaping, excavation into concrete, roadways, paving or pavements for cable conduit, or ducting, or roof penetration.
Non-Standard Installation defined:
