We cover Africa with 3 VSAT C-band satellites. For C-band, you need a 2.4 or 1.8 meter antenna. C-band has a frequency band of 3.7 – 4.2 GHz for downlinks and 5.925 to 6.425 GHz for uplinks. If it is important to have the highest availability on your connection in areas which are sensitive to rain, then C-band is the ideal option because the C-band frequency is the least senstive to rain fade.
VSAT C-band is perfectly suited for rainy environments, for example tropical areas in Africa. In addition, from a more commercial perspective, C-band technology is the best solution for satellite applications that require higher bandwidth. W
The C-band technology is often used in the mining, and oil & gas industry, but also banks in Africa are using this type of satellite internet. Castor Networks also provides effective satellite internet solutions for NGO’s. You can read more about this here.
