What do we mean by 'EVERYWHERE'?

I’ve been trying my hardest to reach out to people who are suffering for slow internet connections on forums such as Think Broadband. Advising people about satellite internet and answering some simple questions for them.

After a recent post I made, I had feedback from an anonymous source stating that Satellite internet cannot be everywhere that is impossible?

His argument came down to the fact that planning permission and tree cover/line of sight could not make satellite internet possible everywhere.

So here is a calcification of what we mean by everywhere.

It is known the basics needed for our satellite internet are a power supply, even been asked this week if a solar panel would be able to power our satellite. There answer after a little bit of research is the actual dish only uses 1Watt. The computer you would be running uses more dependent on what surfing you are doing (just incase you were thinking of switching to a greener future).

You will also need a place to put this dish, preferably on land which you own/rent. The ideal situation would be living in the middle of a flat field. As this would provide the line of sight needed (in our case 33 degrees West). The satellite would be placed much like your TV satellite provider on the side of the house and will be in perfect order in no time.

But not all situations can be like this which is the point where the term ‘everywhere’ got into a dispute. If you live in a forest of 30ft tall trees surrounding your house, you may not be able to receive a signal. But with the necessary equipment, I.e. extra cabling then you are bound to find somewhere for the satellite to go to receive signal (the cabling can reach over 30m if needed) .

Line of sight is also very important. As pointed out before we need to see the sky as the satellite points 33 degrees west. If you however live in the deepest valley of West Wales. Where sunlight hits for only 2 hours a day, then firstly congratulations for putting up with that. Secondly there will always be solutions. We are not restricted by cable length; we can go where no other Broadband technology can reach. Mobile 4G networks are being praised as the future for rural broadband. But in places where they cannot receive signals for making phone calls, I highly doubt they will receive a 4G connection, 3G at the most which is considered slow on the internet.

So the term ‘everywhere’ may seem exaggerated but with the necessary planning, and with our highly qualified team at HySpeed broadband we can provide a service pretty much everywhere across the UK.  

Also if you do live in a Welsh Valley please do get in contact. We are working with the Welsh government broadband scheme this means you could be entitled to getting all installation and equipment paid for! That’s £500 you will be saving, this grant is running out quickly so get in contact asap.

Thank you for taking time to read though this, your comments are always welcome/ desired/ I feel lonely without them.  Have a great day.

2012 The Year of Satellite Internet?

Hello all,

The holiday season is over and no snow settled in my part of the World. 2012 is not firmly upon us and twitter seems to be counting down every day of the 366 days this year. But what can we expect from satellite internet in 2012?

An ever changing, competitive market, satellite internet can be little known about to those city folk, smug with their 20Mbps download speeds. But 1.6million UK residents cannot receive a broadband signal. Their choices could be either a mobile connection, using the 3G or the ever so hesitant to emerge 4G, or a satellite system.

Many sceptics of satellite internet on first hearing will say it’s overpriced. But these people must not have been following the progress of the satellite broadband systems. When it was a fairly new technology, admittedly it was a pricey piece of kit. Subject to the big businesses and the rich who could not possibly deal with dial-up any more. Lately prices have dropped; new technology has come to the forefront with smaller satellite dishes which give more power bridging the gap between rural broadband connections.

In 2012 we will see the launch of Avanti’s Hylas 2 satellite; this will bring the newest satellite technology to the Middle East and Africa bringing up to 10Mbps of speed to businesses and homes. We are the largest reseller of this in Iraq, so get in contact for more information.

2012 for HySpeed Broadband, this year will consist of continuing our hard work and dedication to get Rural England up to speed and help out small rural businesses thrive and grow through using the internet we provide.

We have plans to do a tour in 2012 around the hardest hit areas of the UK. For your time we would of course provide light refreshments. 

We are focussed on helping out customers, existing as well as new, so for our best deals ring us directly. We believe in advising works the best, so all our solutions can be customised for specific needs.

HySpeed broadband hopes that 2012 can be a good year for all. We wish everyone all the best and hope to speak to a few of you soon.

Thank you for reading this blog post keep checking back for new posts throughout the weeks of 2012.

Hylas 1 Vs Tooway day 2 - Technology & Installation

Technology:

As discussed before both Hylas1 and Tooway are using KA-band technology. The biggest difference between these two systems is in the technology the satellites are based around.

Tooway built their satellite on excising knowledge of a satellite anatomy using the old techniques which have been tried and tested.

Hylas1 is cutting edge in its approach; part funded by the UK government the satellite was designed from the ground up with the high-speed internet delivery in mind.

Installation:

All satellite internet systems will only provide a service in line with the quality of the installation - If a system is installed by a professional VSAT installer, with equipment designed to be used for the installation of Ka systems and to a recognised level of quality, then it should work to the best of its abilities. If it is self-installed or installed by a satellite TV installer, then the quality will suffer.

Tooway has always been a Do-It-Yourself solution, you can buy the equipment and either install it yourself or pay a local VSAT installer, we recommend ourselves of course, to do it for you. As installations are not guaranteed by Tooway, if you have a problem - it is your problem - unless you are a client of ours, since we install all our systems to the Hylas specification, we offer a 12 month guarantee when the equipment is bought through us.

Hylas on the other hand, is a commercial quality system at a home user price, but must be installed only by an accredited installer following specific guidelines. All installations are guaranteed for 12 months, and telephone support is available 7 days a week.

 We always recommend a train installer fits the product as some parts if not fitted correctly or forced can break and they are very costly to replace.

Countryside broadband!

News today is finally catching up with what lots of us knew. The 4G network is going to take longer than expected. 2013 is the now the date that residents can find themselves with a 4G network. But is this even covering the hardest to reach areas? 


I've stated news before about rural homes and businesses in areas where broadband cannot reach. This has not highlighted the issue. Even more homes face not being up to date with the latest technology. Many of them may not even be covered in the plans for the 4G networks.

"Current plans mean the 4G network won't be in place until 2013 at the earliest and will only allow for a maximum of 98% of the UK to be covered."

"Coverage is just part of it," he says.

"The other issue is with regard to connection speeds."

"We're seeing that widening gap between those people in rural areas, in terms of the speed of their connection with broadband, and those superfast connections that are increasingly emerging in urban areas."

Phil Bricknell

Report from BBC news

So now that other technologies have been given a go and failed to give a correct date, and even if the service would cover the areas which are most needy. 

How about give satellite broadband a go? fast speeds, a reliable service and cheaper than you may thin. As the technology evolves the price decreases as they find ways to make the actual satellites cheaper and the dishes themselves smaller.

This is only a short blog for the day

Also i am starting a christmas song countdown todays song comes from Coldplay- Christmas Lights, not an oldie but still a good song, especially for all you fans.

Satellite broadband packages for home

It’s that Festive time of year. But this year there is more strain on money woes than usual.  Heating bills alone cost a large chunk of the UK population over 10% of their monthly income.  But whilst there are these worries HySpeed Broadband has decided to go against trends and cut its prices!

Satellite internet has always been seen as an expensive market, and to be perfectly honest the costs will never match up with conventional wired solutions, due to satellite rental and equipment costs.  

Our satellite broadband solutions have now just become more affordable whilst keeping the top quality we have always strived to have.  

As stated here are the price changes.

Satellite broadband packages for home

Package name                         Old price                              New Price

HySpeed I                               £29.99p/m                          £19.50p/m

HySpeed II                              £39.99p/m                          £26.50p/m

HySpeed III                             £49.99p/m                          £32.99p/m

As you can see the price drop is quite significant. We feel that the customer should not be punishing for living in a picturesque rural not-spots, or just to far away from the telephone exchange. So we want to give the best deals in order to get Britain up to speed and join the cyber community. Whether it be on Facebook (‘Like us’), Twitter (‘tweet us’),  Google+ ( ‘Circle us’?), or any other forms of social media.

Please pass this blog on as if it is not helping you, it could help out a family who are not connected. Raise awareness for rural not-spots! And help out a family today.

Video Conferencing: Keep them keen treat it Green!

Business trips sometimes cannot be avoided, nor advised as the face to face meeting between two people is the best think you can get. It allows you to read the other person’s body language and it also lets people see who you are, in my case genuine, friendly, intelligent, and the kind of person who you can do business with (all subject to opinion, my own views are expressed by myself only). 

let’s take a trip into a business World with some piratical examples. you have an existing client in Japan who's been using your services for a long time, he wants an update on how your company is doing it, but he refuses to talk on the phone as it is not personable. The costly solution would be to send over a representative to update him, obviously in these times your be paying a high price for a plane ticket, accommodation whilst he is away, travel expenses to get around the city whilst he is there. Plus also you may be losing a couple of days of work from this representative due to travel times etc. 

Video conferencing has long been an option which businesses do not like, as it can encounter many problems.  Latency issues, vision and voice quality, no connection between the persons involved. 

We believe that video conferencing is the future of business, creating a formal business meeting atmosphere abroad whilst not leaving your own office. We believe that video conferencing allows increased productivity whilst cutting cost and still giving that personable touch that clients, customers & business associates deserve.

TigrisNet solutions integrate the finest video conferencing equipment that integrates video and voice to connect users with each other remotely.

With our solutions important meetings can be organised at short notice.  Employees can work from home, increasing work flexibility and meetings do not require large room facilities.

Here at TigrisNet we care about the environment and try to cut our carbon footprint where ever possible. With video conferencing we can save money and the environment by reducing travel where ever possible cutting down on CO2 emissions.

Video conferencing has many other benefits;

• Reduces travel & accommodation expenses on business trips. The cost of equipment is covered with these expensive costs.
• Face to face meetings rather than over the telephone allow for a more personable and interactive experience.
• Real-Time communication allows for a quick way to do business.
•       Visual data exchange gives the tools to teach or give a presentation successfully from your own working space.
• Currently we have helped many different sectors with video conferencing, some of our clients include; Oil Companies, Educational institutions and tele medicine where video conferencing can help to diagnosis, consult & the transmission of medical images.

TigrisNet can offer video conferencing solutions which pay for themselves after a couple of years sue to the costs saved. It also

HySpeed Services

Good Morning all, 

As this is my first post on blogger it is just to summarise our service. Here at HySpeed Broadband we are able to offer all UK residents (yes even the one's who tried to escape the fast passed city life), a broadband service which exceeds the UK governments aims to get all UK residents onto the internet by 2013. 

How?

Quite simply we use satellites. Without getting technical about the equipment, we use a small dish which will be attached somewhere near your home, place of work. It works similarly to a well known TV provider. BUT, as yes this is a big but, we use a two way signal where residents do not need a telephone line connected, our satellites send and receive data.

The benefits of such a service, residents who live anywhere, can receive up to 8Mbps download speeds, if you are currently on only 516kbps this is around 15 times greater of that. Another great thing about our service, is as most broadband companies offer you speeds using the magic words, 'up to speeds of' 10Mbps and then in reality you may only be receiving 2Mbps. Here at Hyspeed Broadband we give you the speeds you pay for. 

I think I've covered the main parts of our business, stayed posted for more information regarding satellite technology, special offers, & and all things topical.
