VSAT Satellite Internet in Ku, Ka & C-Band, Starlink & OneWeb — GTT | IPSEOS, European Satellite Operator
GTT | IPSEOS (GlobalTT) is an independent, licensed European satellite operator based in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, running its own teleport near Brussels. We deliver VSAT satellite internet in Ku-band, C-band and Ka-band, and fully managed Starlink and OneWeb LEO connectivity for enterprises, NGOs, UN agencies, embassies, mining, oil & gas, construction and maritime operators in Africa, the Middle East, Europe and worldwide.
Our core satellite internet services
- Ku-band VSAT satellite internet — unlimited volume, dedicated (1:1) or shared 2:1 / 4:1 with guaranteed minimum bandwidth. Standard profiles from 256 kbps to 50 Mbps, custom capacity up to 400 Mbps. The best all-round choice for offices, camps and remote sites in Africa and the Middle East.
- C-band VSAT satellite internet — the most rain-resistant satellite band, with very wide beams covering Africa and the Middle East. Recommended for tropical and equatorial regions and for mission-critical links that must stay up during heavy rain.
- Ka-band VSAT satellite internet — high-throughput spot-beam capacity with a small 74 cm to 98 cm dish: affordable high-speed broadband for SMEs, SOHO and branch offices.
- Professional Starlink — managed Starlink LEO internet for fixed sites, vehicles, vessels and portable kits (Starlink Mini), with 24/7 monitoring, cybersecurity, and optional hybrid backup over VSAT.
- OneWeb LEO — Eutelsat OneWeb low-latency connectivity (around 40 ms) with Layer-2 / Layer-3 delivery, CIR/MIR or fully dedicated 1:1 profiles, routed through our European gateway.
Hybrid GEO + LEO networks with SD-WAN
We combine Ku, C or Ka-band VSAT with Starlink, OneWeb, fibre or 4G/5G on a single site using SD-WAN with automatic failover and load balancing. If one link fails or degrades, traffic switches instantly to the other: the result is near-100% availability for critical sites such as embassies, hospitals, mines, banks and UN compounds.
Complementary solutions
- Medium and very long-range Wi-Fi and point-to-point / multipoint radio links to distribute satellite internet across camps, villages and industrial sites.
- Drone systems and drone telecommunications for surveillance, inspection and security.
- Two-way radio, repeaters, Radio-over-IP and satellite push-to-talk (PTT).
- Satellite TV broadcasting on AMOS-17, received on the ground with a 60 cm dish.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Ku-band, Ka-band and C-band VSAT?
C-band (4–8 GHz) is the most resistant to rain fade and covers very large areas, but needs larger dishes. Ku-band (12–18 GHz) offers the best balance between dish size, throughput and reliability. Ka-band (26–40 GHz) uses high-throughput spot beams and small dishes for the lowest cost per Mbps, but is more sensitive to heavy rain. See our full Ku / Ka / C comparison.
Starlink, OneWeb or VSAT: which should I choose?
Starlink and OneWeb (LEO) provide low latency and high speeds; GEO VSAT in Ku, C or Ka-band provides guaranteed bandwidth, dedicated capacity, private networks and independence from a single constellation. For critical sites, GTT | IPSEOS recommends a hybrid LEO + GEO solution managed by SD-WAN.
Which countries do you cover?
Our VSAT networks cover all of Africa (including DR Congo, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Mali, Chad, South Sudan and Somalia), the Middle East and Europe. Starlink and OneWeb are available wherever the operators are licensed. Check our coverage maps.
