Skylogic allows broadcasters to transmit HDTV signals which offer an increased image resolution by incrementing the number of scan lines and the number of pixels per each line.
Broadband solutions
High speed Internet access on shared bandwidth using 2-way modems which can be connected to a business LAN to serve a small terminal network.
Different levels of subscription are available depending on capacity needs and number of PC’s connected.
Skylogic offers affordable, high-quality consumer broadband satellite solutions across markets in Europe not served by terrestrial networks. Its service is based on the ViaSat SurfBeam® DOCSIS® two-way broadband satellite
system, a highly scaleable open standards-based platform that lowers the cost of consumer terminals and service.
Fully-customised and dedicated bandwidth to serve enterprise sites or to create Virtual Private Networks (VPN). Satellite broadcasting capacity allows users to multicast content to several terminals simultaneously, thus radically reducing transmission costs.
Skylogic provides a wide range of network solutions designed for enterprises and public administration needs, including Single Channel Per Carrier transmissions (SCPC), trunking technology and solutions for meshed configurations.
The small satellite terminal ensures rapid activation and guaranteed end-to-end service quality. This is why it is the perfect solution for supplying communications and video surveillance in extreme and high-risk situations.
Skylogic technology provides on-board services for trains, planes and ships. Passengers can access e-mail, the Internet, Voice over IP (VOIP), Fax over IP (FOIP) and corporate intranets by connecting PCs through Wi-Fi hot spots.

Skylogic provides a satellite-based communications network on luxury cruise-ferries operated by Grandi Navi Veloci, a leading company in passenger and goods transport throughout the Mediterranean. The network extends broadband services and the GSM network to passengers and crew at sea. Passengers can access the Internet through a Wi-Fi network and VOIP from cabins and a public phone facility.
WITAR, a voluntary organisation that supports technology education, activated a permanent satellite broadband network through Eutelsat W3A satellite and SkyPark. The link connects a technical school in Ngozi (Burundi) and the technical institute in Vicenza (Italy) for an innovative e-learning programme.
Skylogic provided Elettromeccanica Adriatica with a satellite communications system monitoring 10 remote sites, which include hydroelectric stations and intake structures that carry water to the stations.
Remote surveillance applications combined with a satellite network make it possible to oversee all remote sites simultaneously, irrespective of their location, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
TV applications for broadcasters and Business TV
During the XX Olympic Winter Games of Torino 2006, Skylogic deployed and operated a comprehensive TV network for the Olympic community with satellite delivery of 50 encrypted channels to more than 12,000 screens. In addition to this dedicated television network, Eutelsat and Skylogic provided broadcasters with services and facilities in order to deliver television coverage around the world.
