TS2 Satellite Technologies‘ network in Iraq and Afghanistan has over 15 thousand military users of local broadband satellite connections. “We were among the first telecommunications operators in the satellite technology in the territory of Iraq and Afghanistan and as such we have enjoyed a successful cooperation with the US Army for several years now” – says Marcin Frackiewicz, CEO of the TS2 Satellite Technologies.
TS2 Satellite Technologies offer two-way high-speed internet access with no phone lines, no cable, no dial-up modem. It’s always on, available virtually anywhere, and affordable. The laptop or Wi-Fi network can receive internet signal, through a special satellite VSAT modem which was usually set up in a building or tent when deployed.
The one VSAT access point provides following services for soldiers:
• Broadband access to the internet (www, e-mail, ftp etc.)
• Data transfer to many other users simultaneously
• Telephone connections including VoIP, IP phone
• Video-conference connections
Advantages of the satellite system:
• Short set-up time
• Fast and easy upgrades
• Possibility of guaranteed CIR
• Transmission in almost all weather conditions
The communication among the bases is possible thanks to the simultaneous lease of bands on the Intelsat 10-02, Intelsat 901 and Eutelsat W6 satellites whose coverage enables configuration of connections between any place in Europe, Middle East and Southwest Asia.
Especially for U.S. Military Personnel, Contracting Officers and DoD Contractors, TS2 delivers satellite equipment to most of all military addresses in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East, within maximum 7 days.

I have a hughesnet dish, modem, and LNB that I use to
download internet service from OIFNET Inc. I want to use my existing
equipment to subscribe to your service.
The model is a HN7005. The LNB has a few things written on it (NJR2784HH,
REV:B). Will this equipment work with your service?
I prefer contact by email. I need an answer very quickly because the
equipment will be sold soon (in the next 2 days) if we can’t get a better
deal.

service and equipment. What is the the cheapest (obviously) way we could go
and still play games such as World of Warcraft and use IM webcam

June 29th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
I AM INTERESTED IN GETTING INTERNET SERVICE HERE FOR
SOME SOLDIERS HERE OIN CAMP LIBERTY IRAQ
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:12 am
We are looking to wire a FOB with commercial Internet
for approximately 900 people. During high times, we would probably have
350-400 people online at once. Users want to be able to do VoIP, webcam,
streaming media at a speed comparable to that in the US. There is also the
potential to do the same thing at five other FOBs that are about half the
size of the main one that we want to provide Internet to, so there would be
175-200 on at once during a high period of use.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:28 am
I am at cob Basrah-and I want to set up service for
my Platoon. Looking at the 10:1 for 30 subscribers. Can you support – how
do I order?
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:30 am
Tigris is the only internet provider for the troops
in the IZ Baghdad, Iraq. We are looking to provide competition to in order
to lower the prices of this service.
July 5th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Do you offer packages that are affordable for
single-person orders, or for use of only a few people or are most of them
designed for more users? My unit is moving from Camp Liberty (where there
is decently reliable internet access through MIT) to Camp Charlie, where I
hear there is very little internet access. I would like to know what
options are available for only a very small usergroup.
July 6th, 2009 at 12:03 am
we have US Comz in our rooms,
and SPAWAR in MWR. Both are slow depending on user load (20kps download). I
need portable sat net, fast broadband for my online schools and army
training.
July 6th, 2009 at 12:04 am
We are currently stationed at Camp Bastion
(leatherneck) in Afghanistan. I see that you provide serive there. How does
my company access this serivice for personel internet for our soldiers?
What do you we need to do and how much would it be?
July 6th, 2009 at 12:05 am
Hi I am in Afghanastan and would like to know how
much this equipment and service costs, and what contract deals are
available to me. Please send me details via email on all products in the
BGAN range. Thanks Graham
July 6th, 2009 at 11:28 am
i would like some information for satellite internet
service for one computer (my own) here on kandahar, im a military
contractor and have internet connectivity via the mil network but want a
commercial connection…. if you know of someone on kandahar who already
has the service and is willing to use a wifi extender to bring it to my
location that is ok also… if not i would like some info on a system for
myself (equipment cost, monthly fees, etc….)
July 7th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Hi, I’m writing on behalf of the 464 Quartermaster
Company, currently located in Kandahar, Afghanistan. We are looking to
provide between 100 and 120 soldiers with internet access. I was curious as
to which system and service would best fit our needs. Also, we would like
to know what signal the system runs on in order to get approval. I was
wondering if you could also clarify the difference between C and Ku band.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
