...Iraq and Afghanistan, the fastest satellite broadband connection available in both countries to date. Freedomsat is a Ka-band service operating on the Hylas2 satellite, offering speeds of up to 10Mbps to military personnel and contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. Previously, the most popular service for Afghanistan and Iraq was Bentley Walker’s Ku-band service that ran on the HX50 modem at 4Mbps. Freedomsat offers speeds over twice as fast and at a fraction of the cost.  

Neil Denyer, Sales Manager at Bentley Walker, said of the new service, “We are honored to have an ongoing relationship with those serving overseas, keeping military personnel and civilian contractors connected with family and friends back home, as well as helping with essential tasks like rebuilding and installing infrastructure. We are also the first ISP in Afghanistan and Iraq to offer this new high speed service, and we are already seeing fantastic results on smaller 98cm and 74cm size dishes. The Freedomsat package comes with a unique pin service allowing 24/7 activation and access for users. We are also happy to offer detailed web filtering, should such be required.”

Bentley Walker can potentially offer existing customers using a HX50, HX90 or iDirect modem a completely free upgrade with no equipment or shipping costs.
