Solve two problems at the same time by installing more than one satellite system and having the dishes point to different satellites. This will increase overall speeds with routers set up for multiple sources (dual WAN), but more importantly, act as a transparent failover in case one satellite connection fails or becomes slow.

|
Ground Control has numerous service plans not listed, so please contact us for developing a service plan to your requirements. |
| |
 |
|
Prior to installation, you may need to see if your intended installation location has an obstacle in front of it that would block the satellite signal. This is common in downtown locations, or valleys with mountains and trees. Use this handy little tool to find out. More |

 |
|
We have a variety of high-performance iDirect antennas and radios from .98 meter to 2.4 meter and from 3 Watt to a cloud busting 20 Watt radio. We can help you decide on which system is right for you. |
| |
 |
|
With a world-wide installation network, our certified VSAT installers will have an installation in place and working normally within two weeks from purchase. |
Other Optional Services
 |
|
Each phone has its own number (U.S. based if you wish) to make make and receive crystal clear calls over our satellite connection. More |
 |

Virtual Private Networking
If you require a VPN connection, Ground Control's network is compatible with many existing VPN devices. We also sell the Encore VPN box for a cost effective solution. More |

No-Certification Pointing & Moving
A Semi-Mobile Satellite System
The TripleA Auto-Acquire Antenna makes any stationary satellite system motorized. This eliminated complicated installations, repointing, and makes a satellite system easily transported without a certified technician. Consider this option for your fixed satellite installations to reduce your long term use costs. More |
Transmit and receive up to 492Kbps broadband Internet with the laptop sized Hughes
9201 BGAN terminal. Pointing the terminal takes minutes and can be done by anyone.
Once online, you only pay for the data you transmit or receive. And with
the
9201
terminal,
you
can make phone calls to anyone in the world for .99 cents a minute. The optional
hardened plastic case will survive dust, water and crushing. Ground Control
ships
from Dubai for the Iraqi region.

A great feature of the
terminal is that multiple people may have their own individual
account with their own "Sim Card" inserted into the terminal. Only
the one using the system is the one being charged for usage on their account.
Simply purchase
a plan for
each person and we'll ship a sim card for each
account stated. We will even
ship blank sim cards that can
activate
on
a moments
notice
by
simply
contacting us.
