The Internet is fast-becoming the economic and commercial hub of the world. Intra-office communication via intranet has become the lifeblood of business. Often used to distribute vital company information such as transactional data, marketing collateral, updated price lists, training videos, e-mail and software update, the corporate intranet has become a critical factor in the success of a business. Unfortunately, the reality of the Internet in South Africa is that, until now, it has been characterised by low-speed connections at the exorbitant and variable prices associated with landline infrastructure availability.

Sentech has turned the traditional model o­n its head, using the latest in bi-directional satellite communications technology and taking advantage of a new regulatory framework. Sentech offers unrestricted, high-speed, always-on Internet access at a far more affordable, fixed price, anywhere in Southern Africa.

VSTAR offers commercially-off-the-shelf (COTS) Internet bundles as well as total customisable solutions to connect remotely dispersed sites anywhere in the southern parts of Africa. The VSTAR VSAT hub is operated and maintained from Sentech’s STP. Remote sites are connected to their head office via the satellite and the VSTAR hub.
