According to Sharma,"It gives me great pleasure to announce the, launch of DOPC" fourth VSAT hub. DOPC's has been the pioneer of Ku-band VSAT and it is for the second time in the Nigerian Internet Market, that we are creating a revolution. This new hub is based on HNS technology on most advanced platform DVB/S2. Hughes Network Systems are the pioneers of VSAT technology and have a major market share (over 60%) globally. Munish explained that DVB/S2 technology is the most recent technology that has just got introduced in Europe and US and we are bringing the same in Africa, thus, ensuring that Nigeria is at par with any leading nations.

DVB/S2 technology will give us very high bandwidth efficiency by approximately 30 per cent due to which we will be able to give high Internet bandwidths at low price to our customers. The new platform comes coupled with ACM. In KU band, ACM will become very important during the rains. All existing KU band VSAT's will cut off and loose it's link. ACM, available with, DVBS-2 adjusts the VSAT during rain, so while your speed may slow down, it will keep the link alive. This is a huge advantage over any KU band VSAT platform in the world. Turbo page software on the new technology coupled with DVBS-2 will give you a super fast web browsing experience. HNS VSAT modem will be able to support uplink speed up to 1.6 Mbps and download speed capacity of 45 Mbps.

Uptimes will be higher since the new hub will be managed in USA under supervision of professional staff. The new VSAT modem HN-700 is vertical, slim and easy to transport and consumes less power for equivalent bandwidth. The VSAT is much intelligent with built in features for Security, QoS and much more.The statement further explained that here is the icing on the cake. We are going to give the most advanced technology and a complete VSAT system at an unbelievable price of N115,00 all inclusive. We would be subsidizing the cost to ensure that our services would penetrate deep down the remotest village where affording VSAT was a distant dream.

Finally, we have made our subscription plans very flexible and customer oriented. We have Shared bandwidth plans starting from N15,000 per month that could be affordable by home user, then SME plans from N21,000 onwards and high bandwidth plans for Corporates and Enterprise. There is also option of dedicated bandwidths for specific requirements. Thus we have ensured that our system can be suitable for Corporates, Schools, SME's or even residential users.
