Nawras, a telecom service provider in Oman, is now providing firms in rural areas access to the Internet or connect to their corporate networks nationwide via the launch of VSAT technology.

VSAT, as ‘very small aperture terminal’ is commonly known, is used to transmit data and Internet via satellite communication.

Two solutions are being offered to Nawras Business customers including dedicated Internet bandwidth and Point to Point connectivity over ‘single channel per carrier’ or SCPC technology. This option is ideal for medium and large companies, particularly where security and high speed is a priority.

Alternatively, best effort Internet access over time division multiple access, known as TDMA provides shared capacity through a more economical service without jeopardising quality levels.  TDMA is ideally suited to meet the requirements of small and medium enterprises.

Nawras Business Data & Internet products manager Mohammed bin Jaffer Al Najwani said: “We believe that connectivity is no more a luxury, rather a necessity, even when operating in rural areas of the country.”

“Our VSAT offerings come with variable speeds and prices to suit different budgets and needs.  Most importantly, we are providing an end to end solution with flexibility and reliability that will enhance the communication experience and allow our customers to get more from their business,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
