UK Mobile Satellite Internet Companies Form Partnership

A new partnership has been formed with the leading UK satellite broadband companies to provide UK vehicles with mobile internet satellite services.

The partnership was announced on July 31st by Conrad Anderson, Beyond DSL and Ten Haaft.

The new technology will use Eurostat’s satellite broadband technology and Ten Haaft’s Oyster Automatic Satellite Broadband system.

The mobile satellite broadband system is expected to cost between £17.49 and £69.95 per month. While this may seem cheap in comparison to other services such as Homenet (a fixed broadband satellite system) which starts from £39.99 per month, customers could be forking out an additional £3499 for equipment and be billed a fitting charge of £300. Homenet for example has hardware, delivery and installation costs which amount to just £759.97 (including VAT).

The new broaband service is expected to be aimed at fleet managers who own large number of vehicles.
