Emergency communications from the ground up

GDS' Satellite Network uses a system capable of variable-bandwidth management and actively administers satellite space allocation to respond to disaster and other emergency situations. The system is built an architecture that enables multiple users to share a pool of dedicated and occasional bandwidth.

Two classes of service are available to GDS Network users through a low fixed monthly subscription fee:

1,024/128 Kbps and 1,024/256 Kbps (Download/Upload IP Data Rates). A variable per megabyte or hourly rate applies only when the network is in use. When clients need voice and Internet connectivity, GDS' Network provides bandwidth for IP Voice plus bandwidth for Internet access within minutes, helping connect you when all other forms of communication may be disrupted or otherwise unavailable.

The Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) located on your site consists of a pre-aligned, removable antenna with non-penetrating roof mount, a Low Noise Block down converter (LNB), a two-watt Block Up Converter (BUC) and a satellite modem.

By putting back-up communications capabilities on site at your business locations, GDS' Satellite Network delivers affordable around-the-clock connectivity and peace of mind. For financial institutions, as an example, branches and remote offices could be able to reestablish critical data and voice services virtually within minutes.
