38. TECHNOLOGY
Kacific1 is a High Throughput
Satellite (HTS) which reuses
the same spectrum
(frequencies) multiple times
in 56 spot beams. Total HTS
throughput is much higher
than traditional FSS satellites,
which can use the spectrum
only once. This results in
greater spectral efficiency
and therefore lower cost per
bandwidth.
HIGH THROUGHPUT
Satellites placed in geostationary orbit offer a very stable and
consistent service and user experience. The signal only requires a
simple antenna, with no moving parts for reception and transmission.
Geostationary satellite latency is suitable for nearly all regular internet
usage, such as video streaming, voice calls over IP, general browsing
and even for distribution via 3G or 4G networks.
GEOSTATIONARY
Kacific
39. TECHNOLOGY
Kacific1 uses high-frequency Ka-
band spectrum and technology. The
concentrated spot beams are high
power, resulting in availabilities
between 99.1% and 99.9%.
