SKYNET High-Speed Internet Access by Satellite SCSI offers four access solutions, which enable high-speed Internet Access without needing a highly developed terrestrial infrastructure. The one-way and two-way satellite terminals provide high-speed access from the Internet for a single user or organizational network. These terminals are also capable of providing access to corporate Intranets that are spread out over multiple countries. We also offer dedicated satellite links for backbone access to ISPs as well as Integrated Satellite Business Network services (ISBN) for voice, data and video applications. A major obstacle to high-speed access to the Internet has been the inherent cost of high bandwidth dedicated links. Often a trade-off is made because of cost and lower-bandwidth links are used. The Skynet one-way and two-way satellite terminals use a very cost-effective "asymmetrical" transmission technique for retrieving data from the Internet. Most Internet activities do not require high-speed data service in both directions. The Skynet terminals employ a medium speed connection to the Internet and a high speed connection from the Internet. This reduces the costs and provides a premium service. The Skynet One-Way Satellite Terminal The Skynet one-way satellite terminal is a two-way Internet access system with burstable speeds up to 2048 Kbps from the Internet. It uses a dedicated connection to a local ISP to access and send requests to the Internet. This product consists of an access kit that is interfaced with a PC. This kit includes an antenna with LNB (as small as 2.4 meters), antenna interface cable, satellite receiver, Cisco router, and Windows 95-based computer. The Skynet Two-Way Satellite Terminal Operation of the Skynet two-way terminal requires appropriate transmitting licenses from national regulatory authorities. Potential customers should educate themselves regarding licensing procedures for their country and obtain appropriate licenses. Skynet has a growing database of contracts and specific regulations for different countries and is prepared to assist customers in the acquisition of the necessary national authorization. ISP Access Solution Internet Service Providers in many regions of the world are finding that quality high-speed Internet circuits are very difficult (if not impossible) to obtain, are sometimes unreliable, and are usually very expensive. Satellite connectivity to the Internet provides an attractive alternative. The satellite can provide a dedicated circuit directly to the US Internet backbone and completely bypass the under-developed infrastructure. SCSI recommends dedicated one-way or two-way high-speed satellite terminals for this application. These systems are state of the art, highly integrated subsystems, which give customers flexibility and reliability. They are designed to provide dedicated connections to the Internet, ranging in bandwidths from from 64Kbps to 2Mbps. These links connect a remote site to the Internet backbone. This enables an ISP to provide service to small or large numbers of potential dial-up users. Integrated Satellite Business
