Land L-Band Services

Applied Satellite Technology provide global connectivity via L-band airtime services, ensuring a secure reliable connection is available everywhere – from the remote Australian outback, in the depths of the African desert or near the peaks of the tallest mountains.

As a primary connectivity method, L-Band enables a critical connection to the internet for communication where GSM (Global System for Mobiles) and terrestrial networks are not viable.

Remote access to data can improve efficiency – by having a reliable connection, data can be accessed from sensors located anywhere in the world. This not only opens up the ability to access data in real-time but also to reduce infrastructure downtime, improve service output and reduce unnecessary site visits.

At AST, we design bespoke end-to-end solutions for the best connectivity in any environment – L-Band is common as a primary connection or as a VSAT back-up allowing 24/7 uninterrupted connectivity.
