KBZGateway has teamed up with Asia Satellite Telecommunications (AsiaSat) and satellite service provider Hughes Network Systems to boost nationwide telecoms coverage and provide businesses and people with connectivity from high above the earth.
AsiaSat is KBZ’s partner in the sky, while US-based Hughes delivered the company’s new ground station in Bago, antennas and other technology, according to KBZ Gateway CEO Stephane Lamoureux.
KBZ will use capacity on two AsiaSat satellites to run high-speed data networks across the country for government, business and consumer clients, the company said.
The network can push 100 mega-
bits per second, much faster than competitors, according to Mr La-
moureux. It should get even speedier later, on a third AsiaSat satellite, due for take-off later this year or early in 2017. Download speed in Myanmar averaged 5Mbps in mid-2015, compared with speeds in Singapore at 131.84Mbps, according to Oxford Business Group.
KBZ is targeting a variety of users for its networks, officials said.
“We will offer very secure network services with Hughes technology for banking and insurance,”said KBZ Gateway managing director U Naing Tun Kyaw. “We will build a satellite network to connect the country, and provide services for airlines, hotels and government.”
The company would also support telecoms operators, he added.
Myanmar’s newly liberalised communications sector has meant the explosion of mobile connectivity, with operators turning on
thousands of towers and laying thousands of kilometres of fibre.
But you can’t put fibre everywhere –plus it’s costly and fragile, said Mr Lamoureux. “VSAT not so much –unless the satellite gets hit, and that doesn’t happen,”he said, referring to very-small-aperture-teral technology, part of the system behind KBZ’s network.
Satellites can help the internet arrive in hard-to-reach areas. Last year, Telenor’s roll-out in Rakhine State was hampered due to flooding and fibre delays, but the company had turned on 18 sites that relied on satellite connectivity, said a press release from October 2015.
On the KBZ side, if a user of the firm’s satellite-based network logs on to Facebook –say from Shan State –their journey to the internet starts from a nearby antenna whose signal is sent to the AsiaSat satellite in the sky, back down to the company’s ground station in Bago, and onto the web, via fibre through one of Myanmar’s internet operators, such as MPT, Mr Lamoureux said.
“Satellite is always going to be around,”he added, providing the United States as an example of a country using VSAT every day.
“You get out of the main cities and that’s it, you’re on VSAT.”
Beyond helping businesses, KBZ wants to back Myanmar’s bid to reduce the country’s digital divide.
“We’re going to look at how to use [telecom operators] capabilities and stretch them,”said Mr La-
moureux. “We want to bring VSAT connectivity to the outskirts, and once we get there, try and bring the big players with us ... We want to help them extend their reach.”
The KBZ Group subsidiary also intends to set up its own international gateway in the future, which the company said will help connect Myanmar to the rest of the world.
