que-X Business Satellite Access Service

The que-X satellite access service is a point-to-multipoint access service that provides a dedicated two-way communication circuit from an on-premise earth station at the customer site to the Teleport facility in Midrand, South Africa.  Interconnection from the remote site to the Teleport is via either Hellas-Sat 2 (Ku-Band) or AMOS-5 (C-Band) satellites. From the Teleport, the access circuit is connected to the customer’s hosted equipment in the Tier 4 Data Center or back-hauled to the customer’s SA premises via terrestrial links.

The que-X satellite network solution is a star-network that provides seamless end-to-end IP connectivity from any location in Africa directly to the Teleport in Midrand, South Africa. Customer Head Office networks can be integrated to the remote office through a secure MPLS architecture.
