Satellite Internet is wireless Internet connection provided through the communication satellites orbiting the Earth. It is independent of the location and the service can be accessed from anywhere within the range of the satellite. It is emerging as an effective alternative for communication and broadband services in remote and rural areas where traditional Internet mediums are hard to reach.
Satellite Internet is fast gaining popularity around the world and big Internet companies are
entering this space to offer faster Internet services.
Indio is proud to be associated with leading satellite operators to offer affordable
Internet connectivity solutions across the world.
In regions where the challenges of low population density render traditional fiber and cable infrastructure impractical, satellite-based internet is a viable option.
Successful rural connectivity projects require low deployment and operational costs, with solutions that minimize CAPEX and OPEX for long-term sustainability.
The equipment must be highly robust to endure harsh conditions, while networks should ensure strong security to protect user data and maintain privacy without compromise.
Indio offers a complete ground solution for setting up satellite-based Wi-Fi hotspots to
provide affordable Internet access to the people.
It is well-known fact that satellite
Internet is not affordable to the common people owing to its high installation and
operational cost. At present, the cheapest satellite connection from Starlink cost $500 for
installation (which itself is subsidized) and $100 as monthly expense. The cost of satellite
broadband is 10X the cost of regular broadband connection. Furthermore, satellite broadband
was designed to offer connectivity to rural and underserved regions of the world that will
not be able to afford this high cost.
Indio’s satellite solution solves this issue by
creating micro-billing on top of satellite broadband. The satellite connection will be
shared with multiple subscribers and each subscriber will be offered data in small packs
which they can purchase online. The satellite feed is distributed within the given region
via outdoor Wi-Fi network as shown in the diagram below.
