Broadband access service is meant for organization of Internet network broadband access or other digital networks access and developed for Internet service-providers (ISP), operators of IP telephony and mobile communication, owners of information portals, corporate clients etc.

Interactive and passive earth stations, installed in the territory of customer. The customer should provide the allocated digital IP channel to Balkansatcom Teleport when passive terminal using.

Customer should install corresponding terminal for broadband access service rendering. Passive stations do not need getting of authorization documents and can be installed without limitations. Operators and service-providers gain Internet broadband access and can render their services as soon as possible in any place of country irrespective of available ground telecommunication infrastructures during use of satellite communication channels.

Internet broadband access can provide for customer with different interactive services. Thanks to high-speed data communication and high volume of communicated information ensured by broadband connection, such connection can serve for the organization of "packet" rendering of services wherein services of cable television, video-on-demand, voice communication, transmission and receiving of data and other services are rendered in one communication line.

Terminal network device for Internet broadband access granting is VSAT transmitter-receiver station which provides duplex communication via satellite. VSAT station consists of powered antenna and frequency converter, satellite modem and router. Direct network connection can be created with the use of ground communication channels as well as by connecting to Internet-provider using different backward channelizing schemes.

Terminal equipment consists of servers providing safe video materials storage for VOD services, auto update of libraries, channels programming, access authorization etc. Payment of all used services is made by means of single centralized payment system.
