  • Mark: This is an inquiry into your satellite internet systems. I am with a US army unit deploying to Afghanistan to a new base with limited internet access and I am investigating different options to supply about 25 individuals with internet access. I am wondering what systems you have to offer us and for how much. Beyond the modem what other hardware would we need to purchase to get the 25 people hooked up? A switch or public access device for a WLAN? Or does your hardware include some of these functions? As much detail as possible would be appreciated.
