How Does Asta Work?

Asta provides lightning fast internet speeds of up to 20 Mbps to users. The internet service is delivered using the High-Throughput Satellite (HTS).  Unlike other satellites that only deploy only onebeam to cover entire regions and cities, HTS sends out several beams to increase bandwidth and improve efficiency by up to 20 times!

 

Asta’s broadband satellite system comprises of a Gateway, a Satellite, and Customer terminals. The satellite links the gateway to the internet. In other words, your internet is no longer dependent on fiber cable, power outages, or defects in terrestrial infrastructure.

How Does Asta Work So Efficiently?

1. Suppose you’re on your smartphone and you visit your favorite website your request goes to your Asta modem, and then through a short cable, to a small satellite dish (antenna) outside your house.
2. The dish uses its antenna to beam the request to the Asta satellite.
3. The satellite then sends your request down to the gateway station connected to our ground network.
4. The station then sends the request to the website.
5. The website delivers the information to the satellite, which sends directly sends it over a beam to you.  

Free Browsing?

You read that right. Asta offers free night browsing from 12 AM to 6 AM and lets you stream DVD quality videos from 240p to 480p and nonstop downloads.

 

What Devices do I need? 

You will need a small satellite dish, which is the same size as any regular satellite TV dish. An Asta technician will help you choose the best location for the dish, such as the side of your home or the roof. You will need an official Asta satellite dish to use Asta internet. A normal satellite TV dish will not work. 

 

You will also need an Asta modem, which is no larger than a book. This modem does not have wireless connectivity, but you can use a separate wireless device if you want to browse the internet without being connected to the modem.
