TS2 offers satellite internet access in Afghanistan via Hylas 2

TS2 Satellite Technologies now delivers satellite Internet service in Afghanistan, thanks to Avanti’s Hylas 2 satellite. The Orbital Sciences’ built-spacecraft, specifically designed for broadband communications, is outfitted with Ka bandwidth transponders that allows bidirectional data transmission and additional services for individuals, government agencies and corporations in rapidly growing international markets. Moreover, TS2 will also introduce commercial links in selected African and East European nations, including Poland.

Launched on August of last year, Avanti’s Hylas 2 satellite is positioned an orbital slot at 31 degrees east. Hylas 2 has an estimated life of more than 15 years and is equipped with 24 Ku-band transmitting and six receiving transponders. The satellite also has a throughput of about three times as high as that of Hylas 1.

With the help of Hylas 2, TS Satellite Technologies can now offer access to the Internet and all IP services independently via terrestrial connections; VPN, VoIP and videoconferencing connections; backbone and corporate network solutions; and backhaul satellite solutions for GSM networks to extend cellular telephony reach.
