Consumer High-Speed Internet
Telesat's Anik F2 is the first satellite to successfully commercialize the Ka-band frequency for consumer broadband. Today, Ka-band is widely accepted as a breakthrough satellite communications technology for delivering cost-effective, two-way broadband services. The two-way capability means customers do not need an additional phone or cable line, or the expense of a traditional dial-up ISP to receive high-speed Internet access. This enables dramatic improvements in access to two-way, high-speed Internet services for consumers and businesses in rural and remote areas.
