American military
personnel and contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan will be able to
enjoy satellite broadband thanks to Bentley Walker and its
Freedomsat satellite Internet service.
Freedomsat taps the Hylas2 satellite for Ka-band capacity. It offers speeds of up to 10Mbps at low cost, twice that of the previous Bentley Walker service.
As
part of its ongoing relationship with US military personnel serving
overseas, Bentley Walker previously supplied 4Mbps Ku-band Internet
service. The older service uses the HX50 modem and is
currently the most popular Internet connectivity service for
personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Satellite
Internet allows American military personnel and civilian contractors to stay
in contact with family and friends back home. It also helps in
rebuilding and installing infrastructure and other important tasks.
Bentley
Walker is the first ISP that offered high-speed Ka-band satellite Internet service in
Afghanistan and Iraq. Its Freedomsat package has a unique pin service
that allows 24/7 activation and access for users. In addition,
Bentley Walker also offers detailed web filtering services.
