“With the upgraded network, operators
like Roshan can provide new and better service offerings to end
users by providing reliable and scalable connectivity. Once customers have
access to better connectivity, it inevitably leads to a rapid
increase in bandwidth demand. The new backhaul network over
satellite also allows operators to explore and develop new business opportunities and
revenue streams, such as offering broadband and managed network
solutions to banks, governments and home users using VSAT,”said PJ
Beylier, CEO of SpeedCast.
