Throughout the Middle East, economic growth and development continue to be a major focus for governments and private business. In Afghanistan, new technology and increased interest in natural gas, petroleum, copper, gold, lead, zinc, and iron ore, as well as well as many other mining resources, have led to an increase in new companies moving into the area and existing companies expanding.
In the past, a major concern for these companies was the ability to have continuous internet access in remote and rugged areas of the country. The internet needed to be reliable, redundant and provide a stable way to remotely manage and monitor operations as well as to run the business.
Today, thanks to the expansion of fiber optic internet services in the area, top internet providers are able to meet the needs of these companies. In addition, the best providers offer VSAT satellite systems for redundancy and backup services, ensuring internet connections are always available.
The Benefits Of Fiber Optic With VSAT Backup
Top providers of fiber optic internet services, which includes the VSAT backup, are able to offer extremely high uptime ratings, with 99% not atypical, even in the more rugged areas of the country.
As the fiber optic infrastructure is not to the door of the company in most of these types of locations, specially selected microwave link systems are used to transport the signal from the network infrastructure to the desired location. These microwave links are secure, reliable and able to handle data transmission and reception as required by the company.
For companies in Afghanistan moving into more rural areas, or for an established business in the gas, mining and natural resource industries, these fiber optic internet services now provide quality, reliable and dependable service that will also be within the company’s budget.
