Bentley Walker debuts Freedomsat Ka-band satellite Internet in Iraq, Afghanistan

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.
