IRAQ - High-Speed Internet Connectivity
Ground Control has two different ways to connect with broadband speeds in Iraq. Our Galileo VSAT system is a 1.2 meter dish optimized for high-performance... and the laptop sized Hughes 9201 BGAN terminal.

GALILEO VSAT Fixed & Mobile Satellite Solutions
Ground Control's Galileo satellite service is premium grade connectivity over the Internet or private network. What is unique about Galileo is the applications you run over it perform at speeds you would expect from a terrestrial connection. Information transferred over Galileo uses a patented transparent protocol proxy software with extremely low overhead that reduces both transfer errors and the effects of satellite latency. The bottom line is that Galileo is an excellent platform for numerous applications such as VPN and VOIP solutions that simply won't work on other satellite networks. When you use Galileo with a 1.2 Meter mobile AVL dish, you can even take it with you anywhere on the road.
