Hello Kiyam,<br><br>You can also take a look at <a href="http://www.eutelsat.com">http://www.eutelsat.com</a> to compare pricing/service quality , they do have similar service offerings and I've used them in 1997 while working at Istanbul Technical University and had a reliable service from them<br>

</div><div><div></div><div class="h5">Dear Joe,<br>
now that was a perfect explanation of what I want and would like to achieve.<br>
I thank you very much for your support<br>
and pointing me in the right direction.<br>
<br>
I will have a look at intelsat and see what I can get, but my biggest<br>
problem is that I will need inclined orbit on Ku-Band<br>
and free space segment over Iraq. I am planning to establish multiple point<br>
to point links into London, Frankfurt, NY, CA, and<br>
somewhere in Asia.<br>
<br>
so that’s going to be a little difficult but thanks to you I know where to<br>
start at least.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

Back when I used to do these things in New Zealand, you could encode a<br>
155Mbit/s symbol rate into a single C-band transponder channel. On<br>
IntelSat 177E which we were using at the time the service we could<br>
obtain was limited by available spectrum on the satellite (this was in<br>
the days before Southern Cross was commissioned, when PacRim-East was<br>
essentially full, and there was a brief boom in IP over satellite in<br>
the Pacific).<br>
<br>
IntelSat spectrum availability and pricing always used to be public.<br>
All that remained was to identify a suitable signatory in a fibre-<br>
connected location to provide an uplink, and purchase some transit.<br>
Quite possibly there are other approaches for buying an integrated<br>
service, today.<br>
<br>
No doubt there are other satellite operators that should also be<br>
considered, but IntelSat pricing might give you a useful baseline.<br>
<br>

<br>
Remember that if you're looking for a duplex service, you will need<br>
spectrum at both uplink locations. Also consider that you don't<br>
necessarily need the same RF bandwidth at both ends if your traffic<br>
requirements are asymmetric (e.g. you might be able to combine a 155M<br>
[symbol-rate] uplink from the remote location with a much narrower<br>
local uplink).<br>
