Mobile Satellite Internet Solutions
Over the last 20 years, staying connected to the internet has become essential. With more companies adopting cloud-based applications for day-to-day operations, losing internet connectivity when leaving mobile coverage areas can lead to decreased productivity and, ultimately, lost profits. Satellite Hire solves this issue daily by providing satellite internet solutions for remote Australia.
The Need for Mobile Satellite Internet
In remote areas of Australia, staying connected to the internet is crucial for work purposes. When you leave mobile coverage, employees will need to carry or mount a satellite data terminal to stay online. These satellite data terminals range in price from $4,000 to $11,000 and typically weigh around 1.5-2 kg. Depending on the model, terminals can either be portable and carried in your laptop bag or mounted on a vehicle's roof with an inbuilt antenna.
The Cost of Satellite Data
While the cost of portable satellite data has dramatically decreased over the last three years, it may still seem expensive compared to regular mobile phone data, especially for non-work-related use like streaming video. However, the ability to stay connected for work purposes in remote locations offers substantial benefits.
Real-World Example: Faster Payments for Remote Workers
For instance, one of our customers, who conducted inspections and repairs in remote Australia for 2-3 weeks at a time, was often delayed in receiving payments. Companies he worked for had 30-45 day payment terms, meaning he would sometimes wait up to 2 months to get paid.
The solution was to use a BGAN Explorer 510 portable data terminal for mobile satellite internet on-site. With this terminal, he was able to invoice customers the same day, resulting in payments up to 21 days faster. The faster payment process allowed him to grow his business, and he now has three staff members using the Explorer 510 to invoice clients instantly after completing their jobs.
