7.Who are the target subscribers for Thuraya IP+?
Thuraya IP+ is targeted at users in the broadcast media, defense, government, telemedicine and disaster response sectors. We are also targeting small and medium enterprises as well as individuals who need reliable broadband Internet access in locations that are beyond terrestrial network coverage.
8.What types of Quality of Service (QOS) does Thuraya IP+ have?
Thuraya IP+ offers two types of QoS. They are:
Standard IP: This service offers shared channel resources among several users. This means that in any spot beam, the number of users logged on and are actively using the service will be sharing the available channels. The throughput may vary depending on the amount of data transmitted and received by various users sharing the channel.
Streaming IP: This service offers dedicated throughput on a channel for a user. Within Streaming IP, different types of QoS are available ranging from 16 Kbps to 384 Kbps for uplink as well as downlink. In this mode, if a subscriber opts for 384 Kbps uplink and 64 Kbps downlink, the 384 Kbps uplink bandwidth and 64 Kbps downlink bandwidth is dedicated to this subscriber only. The throughput is constant during the session.
9.What are the uplink and downlink options available on streaming IP?
Thuraya IP+ offers Asymmetric Streaming services which enable users to have numerous uplink / downlink bandwidth options. It offers unmatched flexibility for variable uplink and downlink streaming bandwidths to suit any type of dedicated bandwidth requirement.
For example, if a media customer wanted to cover a live event, the best possible uplink bandwidth is 384 Kbps. However, on the downlink the customer does not require a huge bandwidth and hence might settle for 64 Kbps or even 32 Kbps. This results in significant cost savings for the customer.
