Bangalore, May 2 (KNN) Many SMEs in far flung places have chosen satellite based broadband services for internet connection provided by Hughes owing to its affordability.
“Hughes, by virtue of offering satellite based broadband services is able to provide services even to single SME units in far off locations and is not dependent on multiple units or clusters being present to offer services - a limitation faced by other terrestrial broadband service providers,” said a media report quoting Hughes Director, N Jairam.
Hughes is the world's largest provider of broadband satellite networks and services.
In its effort to attract the MSMEs, Hughes has also reduced the onetime investment that is required to set up a satellite broadband service apart from offering innovative services to ensure that maximum value is provided to those users who value reliable business grade broadband as an extremely vital ingredient in achieving competitiveness.
SMEs are therefore going for VSAT as it is more easily accessible, ensures high speed and is at the same time cost effective.
After selling its product in far flung places like Jammu and Kashmir and north-eastern states the company is now finding buyers in Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai and Pune.
Companies dealing in construction and infrastructure; remote factories; cyber cafes; micro-finance companies; hotel and resorts are its major clients.
According to Jairam 50 per cent of SMEs are adopting VSAT as their primary broadband service while the remaining 50 per cent use it as a back-up to terrestrial broadband.
Hughes expects at least 50 per cent of its growth to come from SMEs. (KNN)
