Iraq Army Internet Service -
An Invaluable Link Home

Of the two satellite communications systems, D-Star/Linkstar is the more popular system used by soldiers at Iraq army bases because it's less expensive, very efficient, and highly reliable. It is a scalable, high performance satellite system that delivers broadband Internet access with download speeds of up to 4 Mbps.


The system supports web browsing, email access, and up to one VOIP line. Streaming applications (i.e. webcams and videos) operate satisfactorily with some occasional jitter at peak service times.


In comparison, iDirect Infiniti delivers the same service speeds as D-Star, but it supports more applications and performs much better. It is the more sophisticated of the two satellite systems and, of course, more expensive (by several hundred dollars).


However, if your service requires internet access with simultaneous, multiple VOIP lines or intensive video streaming or video conferencing capability, then iDirect offers the best technology to meet your needs. And ... it is certainly worth the extra investment simply because it can handle any service requirement for any network size with ease and excellence.


It should be noted that both the iDirect and D-Star systems work independently requiring only an electricity source to provide a full-featured broadband Internet access at any location. Absolutely no phone lines are needed to receive service.

There are a number of dealers offering satellite communications services with D-Star/Linkstar and iDirect technologies throughout the Middle East. Currently, one of the most dependable providers of VSAT internet service for Iraq army and US military personnel stationed throughout the Middle East is BusinessCom.

Simply, the company is top notch! They provide good, reliable internet access over both platforms with excellent customer service. Their pricing is competitive, and they will work with you to provide the service you need.


Iraq army internet access is delivered via either the Newskies NSS-6 satellite for D-Star/Linkstar (Ka band) service or via the ArabSat BADR-4 satellite for iDirect (Ku band) service. Both satellites beam a strong signal throughout the Middle East.


For local service convenience...
BusinessCom has an office in Baghdad to provide fast system distribution, installation, and service support for Iraq army and military personnel. This arrangement saves time and money.


Additionally, BusinessCom is experienced in working with the military to provide all types of communications solutions via satellite including wireless service solutions and voice over internet telephone service. Any size network or service requirement can be accommodated.

Satellite systems can be self-installed with a Pdf instruction manual (downloadable) and email/instant messenger assistance provided by BusinessCom. Conveniently, the iDirect Infiniti system comes with a built-in signal meter which allows you to align the system to the satellite without the need of any special instruments.


As an alternative, if necessary, BusinessCom's local installers in the Middle East can get your system up and running quickly (install. fee applies). There are no long term service commitments, and if service difficulties ever arise, spare replacement parts for your satellite system and 24/7 tech support are available to correct the problem immediately.


Best of all...
BusinessCom provides     >> unlimited satellite internet access <<.     There are no service restrictions, monthly download / upload limits, hidden fees and no Fair Access Policy provision with any of BusinessCom's internet service packages.

Why is this important? ... whether you are talking via internet phone or just surfing the internet, there's no worrying about exceeding any upload or download maximums at any time because there are none, and there's no catch. This is something that most other satellite providers simply do not offer.


How do they do it? ...
In order to insure efficiency, BusinessCom's Iraq army service packages also include a small amount of CIR (committed information rate or dedicated bandwidth) for every pc connected to their network. This prevents oversaturation of the network and resulting service slow downs. The inclusion of CIR bandwidth also allows BusinessCom to continue upgrading shared bandwidth as more customers are added, thus maintaining service speed, quality, and consistency along with competitive pricing.


The secret of their success...
Simply, they do not oversell segment space on the satellite, and for military services, they encourage the formation of networks (groups of soldiers) within Iraq army units to reduce the monthly per person subscription costs. These practices eliminate service slow downs or delays because of system congestion. Along with lower contention ratios, this business formula provides more productive and dependable operations, as well as, satisfied subscribers.

Note:
Iraq army internet access from BusinessCom is available with various download/upload speeds on two service levels - Enterprise (10:1 contention ratio) and Office (20:1 contention ratio). Here's a look at some of BusinessCom's typical iDirect service packages for satellite service throughout the Middle East via ArabSat BADR-4 satellite. The service can accomodate both small and large network groups and comes with a near 99% network uptime guarantee!


And, where is service available ?...
BusinessCom currently delivers satellite internet services to a large segment of the military population already stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, and throughout the Middle East. Additionally, they provide an excellent VOIP (internet phone) service in partnership with MCI worldwide; or, you can use Skype, a very popular internet calling program for many of the military and their families back home.

Here's a list of military locations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Middle East where high speed internet service via satellite is currently available.
