Q-KON has released new OneWeb Twoobii-LEO user terminals designed to meet the needs of end users who require a more resilient back-up to fibre connectivity. They operate on the global Eutelsat OneWeb network.

With demonstrated speeds of the larger flat-panel antenna are impressive (100Mbps receive data rate and 20Mbps transmit data rate), raw performance has intentionally taken a backseat to reliability and the provision of best-effort service quality.

Q-KON plans to further enhance the reliability and dependability of satellite connectivity by enabling seamless integration of Twoobii-LEO Smart Satellite Services with fibre networks through the option of direct links to end-user core networks.

This additional innovation will be made possible by the fact that the Eutelsat OneWeb gateway infrastructure is located within South Africa, and possesses a dark fibre link to Teraco.

The smaller and easy-to-install flat-panel antenna will be promoted to the retail, enterprise, government and financial branch sector markets – scenarios where always-on connectivity is vital to ensuring that customer service standards are maintained. Competitively priced through attractive total cost-of-ownership (TCO) models, this terminal offers accessible 50Mbps/10Mbps redundancy services.
