Afghanistan Satellite is a new Afghanistan to USA communications service offered by Hawaii Pacific Teleport. The service is provided on the JCSAT 3A satellite at orbital position 128E operated by Sky Perfect JSAT corporation of Japan. The satellite footprint covers all of Afghanistan and adjoining countries including Pakistan and supports two way communications service in excess of 2 Megabits on small c-band antennas with a 2.4 meter diameter.

The new service is unique because it offers the only one hop satellite connection between Afghanistan and the USA through HPT teleport in Hawaii. Most other commercial satellite services in Afghanistan operate on less reliable ku-band spectrum and are typically routed through foreign teleports in Russia, Germany or Hong Kong which may be less desirable for those customers whose traffic may be better served by a teleport based on Synterra Media Chooses Genesis Networks
