Employees in offices are used to the fact that the Internet is always there. You can send a file to a colleague, find the necessary information and contacts of a potential contractor, connect to a printer and print a document. But this is in the city, where cables are stretched everywhere and there are cell towers. But what if the company operates in a remote area without access to such an infrastructure?
Such companies are rescued by satellite Internet. With its help, employees can stay in touch with colleagues and loved ones, get access to familiar services and tools. As a result, they feel more comfortable and work more productively.
Satellite Internet is designed like this: satellites are located in geostationary orbit, which receive a signal from the ground and distribute it to special stations that are in their coverage area. The station, in turn, transmits a signal to user devices: routers or computers. Such a station can be installed both on land and off-road.
The wider the satellite network of the provider, the more stable the connection will be. For example, RTCOMM, a subsidiary of Rostelecom, has one of the widest networks. It is easy to verify this on the company’s website : select any point on the territory of Russia and you will see that it falls within the zone of at least two satellites.
A remote point in Yamal is in the access zone of 5 satellites at once
Let’s figure out which companies will benefit from satellite Internet – and why it is worth using the services of RTCOMM.
1. To mining companies, recreation centers and rotational camps
If you have a permanent work site in a remote area, then you know how important it is to stay in touch with colleagues and loved ones. It is necessary to exchange work information and personal news – in this case, the Internet is necessary for both employees and guests.
Satellite Internet is an excellent solution for this task. Very little space is needed for the antenna, and the signal from the satellites is available anywhere. So no matter how far you are from residential settlements, you will have a stable communication channel.
On the territory it will be possible, for example, to deploy an Internet cafe. Users – employees and guests – will be able to connect to the network themselves and pay for traffic from a bank card. This service is called HotSpot, and RTCOMM also offers it to its clients.
LLC Vostok installed 10 communication centers in shift camps in Yakutia. The equipment can serve up to 1000 subscribers
2. Companies related to sea transportation
On a sea or river vessel, communication is equally important. As well as on land, here it will be useful, for example, telephony or a video surveillance system to support work processes and monitor security. And this is also possible thanks to satellite internet.
On the ship, the satellite station is installed on a gyro-stabilized platform – it compensates for the rolling effect. In this case, the antenna is aimed at the satellite automatically, that is, the communication channel is stable and is not interrupted due to ship movements or waves.
For such companies RTCOMM offers the “Marine VSAT” service: equipment for sea and river vessels, as well as a range of additional services. It will be possible to use IP telephony on the vessel or set up an intelligent video surveillance system in areas of high surveillance, for example, on the deck. If something happens, you will receive a push notification.
And also RTCOMM has automatic roaming set up: if the ship moves from the zone of one satellite to the zone of another, the connection will not be interrupted.

3. First responders and the media
Companies whose work involves moving to hard-to-reach places understand that you can be left without a cellular connection at any time. A rescue operation or live broadcast from the scene could be in jeopardy if there is no internet. But such companies and organizations can always rely on satellite communications too.
The antenna can be positioned both on the transport itself and transported in the luggage compartment and taken out during stops. You can choose equipment for any budget and task: there are stations both with manual guidance to the satellite and with automatic one. You can use the Internet both during a stop and directly on the move.
For such companies, RTCOMM has a Mobile VSAT service. RTCOMM has flexible conditions: for example, there are tariffs with hourly tariffs. This means that you only need to pay for the amount of traffic that you actually used up. Equipment from RTCOMM can be either purchased as property or rented as part of a service or received by installments.
Mobile VSAT from RTCOMM operates in the Ku- and Ka-bands, the entire territory of Russia is covered by 8 satellites. There is no doubt about the stability of the signal
RTCOMM is one of the leading providers of satellite Internet in Russia
RTCOMM offers not only equipment and Internet access, but also additional services, for example, a set of SatVision services. With it, you will get full control over the network: you can configure Internet access, filter traffic, collect and store statistics through a single interface. Antivirus is already built into SatVision, and the system also optimizes traffic to reduce Internet costs.
