SATELLITE SERVICES

Secure voice and data SATCOMS designed for Defence

ADDED VALUE SATCOM

Spectra Group is a global leader in the provision of value-added services via satellite communications carriers around the world. We use Inmarsat’s BGAN services for small, light, highly mobile applications and VSAT services for higher bandwidth applications in relatively static locations.

A key component of our offering of “value-added” satellite services is our 24/7 Network Operations Centre (NOC), which provides monitoring, helpdesk support and troubleshooting for all satcom deployed assets.

Applications

Inmarsat BGAN supplied by Spectra Group
SatPhone
Portable phone services provide essential voice calls and messaging for those operating in remote regions around the world. We can supply Inmarsat, Iridium and Thuraya SatPhones for highly portable voice and cost-effective low-bandwidth data services.
SwiftBroadband
Satellite telephony, enhanced data, secure connections and global coverage are the hallmarks of SwiftBroadband: an IP-based, packet-switched service that provides data at speeds up to 432 kbps per channel. It can also provide IP streaming at various rates up to an entire channel.
VSAT
Spectra operates a VSAT network of partner satellite ground stations (SGSs) in strategic locations that provide global coverage. These SGSs are located in the U.S., Europe, and Asia and are connected to our core infrastructure to provide an extremely high level of security and quality of service. We are able to offer both SCPC and TDMA for dedicated and shared VSAT services, depending on the individual requirements of our customers.
BGAN
BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) is a compact and lightweight terminal that is easy to set up and use, offering a compelling combination of all-in-one phone and broadband. BGAN is unique in that it provides global broadband data with simultaneous voice transmission through a single, very compact device. It is an excellent solution for disaster situations and temporary field offices for small teams in areas where terrestrial communications are poor or non-existent.
