What is Skycasters Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) Internet via Satellite?
A Point-to-Multipoint solution allows multiple users to be connected to the Internet through a single Skycasters satellite dish. Each end user is identified and tracked separately in the system, which allows us to administer each individually.
This methodology is useful in a variety of applications. A hotel or resort operator may wish to provide Internet access to their guests, using an Ethernet connection in each room, or with a Wi-Fi system throughout the facility. The owner of an Internet Café can use a Skycasters PTMP system to simplify operations, with Skycasters handling the back office, user account administration, and billing. A community that is otherwise “off the grid” and without high speed Internet access is no longer beholden to the telco giants and their fiber build schedule. Skycasters PTMP can be paired with a WiMAX distribution tower to provide broadband to the entire community and surrounding area.
Best of all, because our PTMP model uses the Skycasters satellite network for backhaul, we can deploy practically anywhere – and fast.
