weather conditions, it even resists the rain fade in tropical regions, with heavy downpours, and this allows Galaxy ITT to offer up-time guarantees ranging from 99.8% to 99.95% depending on the antenna size.
This implies that you can dynamically boost deploy new network nodes without worrying about technological and logistical setbacks. Maintaining the basic technical and operational configuration, addition of new access points, increasing bandwidth and applications to the network core, may be done without a need for the disruption of the initial infrastructure.
Based on its design and technology, the COMET9® solution is better in terms of price/performance when compared with existing VSAT-designs currently being offered in Nigeria. The network will enable cost savings obtainable through improved network efficiency and low-cost on domestic and international voice and fax calls.
The COMET9® SCPC VSAT-solution comes with the off-the-shelf Cisco router technology, combining the inherent flexibility of satellite communication with tremendous, open-standard IP-routing schemes, introducing a highly optimized and cost-effective usage of the allocated bandwidth resources.
The COMET9® solution consists of the following main components:
Remote site: SCPC unicast/multicast VSAT infrastructure components combined with a 2.4 meter ground station and access to the Internet backbone from Dutse
Space segment on PAS1 R - high powered C-band satellite
System design, integration, installation, training and support services
Network Operations Centers (NOC) at Galaxy ITT main Hub in Dutse providing 24/7/365 monitoring of satellite performance, customer networks and furnished with helpdesk and technical support centre.
