A leased line is often used by our SCPC customers. It’s an open unshared terrestrial channel between our satellite teleport and your organization’s primary network that doesn’t touch the public network. A leased line can be used for dedicated SCPC service, standard shared internet service, or hybrid service. Clients often use a leased line for increased security and to improve reliability and performance since the channel is open with no restrictions. Their cost depends on many factors, but a ‘high’ cost for a 1.5 Mbps data channel would be $1000 per month to most locations in the United States.
