Services news Installation of Ka-band broadband satellite service is progressingThe country's first Ka-band satellite service, YahClick, was recently launched by telecommunications group Vox Telecom in conjunction with Abu Dhabi-based Yahsat. Ka-band satellites transmit many highly focused, overlapping spot beams, each covering a relatively small area, which allows for access to greater bandwidth at a lower cost. Although the service is expected to provide reliable backup for urban broadband users who may occasionally lose transmission due to cable theft or loss of signal, Vox Telecom's first objective is to provide much-needed primary high-speed connections to unserviced and rural businesses and communities. Positive feedback "Approximately 66% of our @lantic customers live in isolated areas, which led us to believe that there is a significant, untapped market for more affordable and diverse Internet services in rural communities," said Jacques Visser, YahClick project manager at Vox Telecom. "Several users are already enjoying the benefits of the service. Installations began earlier this month, and we have received extremely positive feedback. We expect to install at full capacity within the next few months." Vox Telecom has previously announced that the YahClick service will comprise of a range of packages, starting with a basic plan priced at under R200 per month, to more comprehensive business packages that allow for faster downloads and greater data usage. Hundreds of installation service providers are being trained and placed across outlying areas of the country to ensure that users have access to localised after-sales care and technical support.
