SahanNet is experienced in the provision of broadband internet access via satellite, it features service on satellite Arabsat 5A, orbiting geosynchronously at 30.5°E. Operated by Arabsat 5A is designed to provide a package of communications services (data transmission and Internet access) through VSAT technology.
Arabsat 5A is equipped with up-to-date antenna systems, and provides high-quality communications and uniform coverage in C-band.
Sahannet offers the following Internet via Satellite services on Arabsat5A.
| dedicated (CIR: Committed Information Rate) one-way service (with bandwidth management system for shared and burst options) |
| dedicated 2-way service |
| dedicated 2-way service |
| iDirect (iDirect latest Evolution HUB) |

Eutelsat’s new W2A satellite replaces the W1 satellite at 10 degrees East, one of Eutelsat’s long-standing orbital locations and a key position for data and professional video networks. Services have been continuously provided at this location since 1987. W2A more than doubles the amount of Ku-band capacity available at 10 degrees East, while also boosting C-band capacity available through Eutelsat’s fleet for services across Africa.
The Ku-band payload on W2A provides up to 34 transponders connected to an enhanced Widebeam footprint serving Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Up to 15 Ku-band transponders are connected to a second beam serving southern Africa and Indian Ocean islands, and enabling connectivity between Africa and Europe. The C-band payload of 10 transponders provides pan-African coverage, extending to India and parts of Asia as well as Latin America, for broadband and telecommunications services.
The W2A satellite also features a major innovation by carrying an S-band payload enabling delivery, for the first time, of mobile multimedia broadcast services (mobile TV, digital radio…) directly onto user mobile terminals and vehicles in Europe. The state-of-the-art S-band payload at 2.2 GHz will be targeted at European countries and will initiate the building of a hybrid infrastructure combining satellite and terrestrial networks. This infrastructure will provide both universal coverage and indoor penetration for mobile TV services. The S-band payload will also enable other communications applications such as security communications or crisis management.
