Professional Business Grade Satellite Internet & Phone in Puerto Rico
Ground Control (a U.S. based company) has been providing high-speed communications to many Puerto Rico organizations since 2002. Puerto Rico has an excellent connectivity beam from Galaxy 18, which is Ground Control's most popular iDirect satellite solution for both Fixed and Mobile dishes.
