Remote construction sites
Reliable communication is a constant challenge for remote construction sites, and the fact that these offices are relocated every few weeks or months only adds to the problem. SkySat offers reliable internet access, as well as IP voice services, and can easily be redeployed whenever – and wherever – necessary.
Game lodges
In the services and tourism environment, fast and reliable internet connectivity has proven to be a true differentiator. With SkySat, game lodges can provide a high-speed Internet service for corporate and conference guests through Wi-Fi hotspots, as well as enabling online booking, website hosting, and liaising with customers.
