ABOUT PRIME SATELLITE BROADBAND
Prime Satellite Broadband is the satellite service division of Prime Satcom Consulting Limited. Formed in 2003 under the leadership of Tareq Khamis, a satellite engineering and business professional for over 25 years Prime Satcom Consulting quickly established itself as a knowledgeable consulting firm. Early customers included Orbit Research Ltd, Petrodata Ltd and Innovation Technology Systems in Dubai with jobs ranging from establishing UK based satellite service to advising on the best global solution for data monitoring systems. In 2004 Prime Satellite Broadband was created in partnership with Orbit Research.
Prime Satellite Broadband quickly established themselves as a major player in the satellite service market with key customers including Cable & Wireless, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Services, National Grid, Mercury Health (Care UK), South Gloucestershire Council, Birmingham Council, Artemis Fund Management Ltd, Thomas Swan Ltd, Lundy Island, Holland & Barrett, McDonald Restaurants, etc.
Prime Satellite Broadband continually checks services available on the market looking at the latest technology trends and testing the quality of service provided by the wholesale provisioning suppliers. Today Prime Satellite Broadband has partnerships with Avanti Communications, Skylogic SpA and Sislive to deliver what we consider are the best value services available to the market today and in the future.
Avanti Communications are a UK based wholesale service provisioning company that will be launching the first broadband Ka-band satellite in Europe mid-2010, Hylas 1. This will provide a quantum leap in lower pricing available to satellite broadband customers due to the higher frequency of Ka-band compared to Ku-Band (used by current broadband satellite services). Thus the satellite will have a much higher capacity while the cost of the satellite is not much more than the Ku-band satellite currently in orbit.
Skylogic SpA, based in Italy, provide excellent coverage almost to any part of the world. Their DStar services are high quality and reliable. The service has been in operation for over 8 years and stable. We use DStar services for our Middle East and African services.
Sislive are the largest mobile outside broadcasting company in the UK and possibly Europe. They operate over 180 vehicles and own their own bandwidth which is distributed via their own hub in Milton Keynes, UK. They provide both occasional use and data volume limited services on dedicated on very low contended bandwidth.
