Making business-speed internet possible anywhere in Africa.
Africa is so huge you’d be forgiven for thinking that there are places that businesses can’t be connected to the internet. But you’d be mistaken.
Liquid satellite can connect you to “Business Speed” Internet at up to 50Mbps anywhere in Africa using our MEO and LEO satellite technologies
Liquid Satellite
Ka-Band
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.
- Low cost
- High speed connection
- Focused service area (Province/state)
- Very small terminal size (75cm)
- Good for backup services & low availability consumer services
Ku-Band
Our KU band products provide broadband connectivity to customers in the most under-serviced or remote parts of the continent. We’re able to support your customers all over Africa, offering fully licensed solutions.
Highly competitive data costs
Your customers are guaranteed a superior user experience for less.
Because successful businesses need to move fast, so do we.
Managed by our dedicated logistics department, VSAT kits are kept in stock across Africa allowing for the quickest installation turnaround times possible.
- Mid-cost
- High speed connection
- National coverage area
- Small terminal size (1m/1.2m)
- Good for SME/Enterprise, and mid to high availability services
C-Band
We also offer a full range of products and services utilising our pan-Africa C-Band coverage and network of Earth Stations. These products and services range from Direct Internet Access (DIA) for trunking & backhaul, though to Layer-2 enterprise Mesh architectures.
Our Earth Station infrastructure is designed and built to provide the highest levels of service and is strategically located at various points-of-presence on the Liquid Intelligent Technologies fibre and MPLS backbone.
- Higher cost
- High speed connection
- Regional/continental coverage area
- Large terminals
- Good for enterprise, government, critical infrastructure/mission critical services

Teleport
Liquid Dataport's Teleport in Krugersdorp, South Africa
Our extensive and world class teleport infrastructure is used by Global Satellite Operators and service providers alike, enabling them to leverage Liquid Dataport’s unparalleled expertise and experience in operating satellite ground segment infrastructure. This unique teleport operation within Africa of both inhouse and global satellite operator hosted services gives us access to the widest number of satellite assets and as such the most dynamic configuration of satellite services offerings available. Our Teleports are connected directly to the Liquid Terrestrial core network via diverse routes with no single points of failure as well as via other third party terrestrial service providers, ensuring the highest possible levels of service.
Media & Broadcast
Satellite technology plays a crucial role in broadcasting services all over the world. From FTA to DTH through to fully managed services and colocation, Liquid Dataport has the service levels and expertise to meet your growing broadcasting demands in Africa.
We can provide for every element of your broadcasting needs – from single channel encoding or contribution to multi-channel statistical-multiplexing through to transmission and satellite uplink/capacity.
Virtual Network Operators
Establishing a satellite network can be a daunting and expensive undertaking, this is why Liquid Dataport’s Virtual Network Operator (VNO) services have been designed to be scalable and cost effective from the outset. Leveraging Liquid Dataport’s extensive satellite infrastructure, we offer all of the elements required for Enterprise services providers, ISP’s and Telco’s to operate VSAT or satellite connectivity services themselves without any of the high cost capital asset investment.
Managed Teleport
Liquid Dataport, as part of its satellite service offering, are the only company on the African continent with the experience and expertise to provide a complete managed Satellite Teleport, a managed satellite ground segment service.
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.
