Pactel provides SATCOM network for Australian immigration facilities at Nauru

Pactel International wasted no time in setting up a satellite communications infrastructure for Nauru refugees in Australian immigration facilities. On behalf of CenpacNet Inc., Nauru's local telecom provider, Pactel designed and debuted a SATCOM network to provide the first group of asylum seekers with Internet and VoIP access.

Pactel based its network on the IS-18 C-band and Ku-band satellite platform. The new network will be able to provide Internet connectivity and high-quality VoIP calls for up to 1500 people -the maximum number that the detention facilities can hold- thanks to the efficient bandwidth allocation capabilities of Pactel’ QoS technology.

“Access to communication facilities that enable refugees to communicate with their families and request for assistance has become a basic need in current circumstances,” said Andrew Taylor, the CEO of Pactel International. “We will ensure our service satisfies this need.”

On behalf of CenpacNet Inc., manager Rudolph Garoa, Manager explained that the Company chose Pactel International due to the latter's extensive experience and high accountability in the Pacific Region. PactTel's 24/7 network support and fast, reliable satellite communications services met all of CenpacNet's expectations.
