Ka-Band

KaBand

Ka-band beams are much more focused, resulting in high powered spot beams lit over specific regions. Much higher throughput can be achieved using the same amount of bandwidth, driving down the cost of the spectrum and the cost per bit.

At the high frequencies of Ka-band, you can use a smaller dish to get an equivalent power output up to the satellite. It also means the RF amplifier requirements are reduced.

Ku-Band

As the market leader in Africa, this allows satellite operators and network operators to access their spacecraft or operate the network without the concerns or investments usually associated with satellite ground segment infrastructure. 

From colocation to earth station leasing, or from fully managed infrastructure as service to Virtual Network Operator (VNO) with services right across all of the orbits (LEO, MEO and GEO) and commercial satellite frequency spectrums, Liquid Dataport have the solution, experience and expertise to deliver.

In short, we are offering satellite operators (the ones that own the spacecraft!) the ability to have antennas on the continent to provide access to, or offer services directly via, the Liquid Dataport Teleports. 

We are pushing our satellite licensing and terrestrial connectivity capabilities to the whole of the satellite industry.

Whether it’s our high-speed broadband offering or a bespoke dedicated enterprise network, our reach, experience and expertise will exceed your expectations.
