Satellite broadband for business

When a site has no fixed line and no usable 4G or 5G, satellite is the answer. Low Earth orbit services such as Starlink and OneWeb bring business broadband to remote farms, quarries, renewable energy sites, rural construction and events, and can sit alongside a mobile connection so a site stays online if one link fails. Tell us about the site and we will recommend the right set-up.

What we can supply

• Starlink business services for fixed sites, vehicles and maritime use.
• OneWeb (Eutelsat) services for fixed sites, vehicles and maritime use.
• Installation anywhere in the UK, with hardware leasing so there is no large upfront cost.
• Short-term rental for events, film and TV, and temporary sites.
• Failover and bonding with 4G or 5G routers, so a site keeps working if one connection drops.
• Managed service with monitoring and support, for businesses that want it looked after.

Satellite services are provided through our partner network. We advise on the right mix of satellite, 4G and 5G for each site, and supply the routers, antennas and SIMs that work alongside them.

Satellite, 4G or 5G?

Where there is a good 4G or 5G signal, mobile broadband is usually quicker to set up and cheaper to run; see our 5G FWA and temporary internet options. Satellite comes into its own where mobile coverage is weak or missing, or as a second, independent path for sites that cannot go offline. Many of the best set-ups use both: a router that switches automatically between satellite and mobile, or bonds them together.

Where it is used

• Farms, estates and rural businesses with no fixed line.
• Quarries, wind farms, solar farms and battery storage sites.
• Construction sites in rural areas, from first site set-up to handover.
• Outdoor events, festivals, film and TV locations.
• Business continuity: a backup path that does not share any infrastructure with your fixed line.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Starlink for my business?

Yes. Starlink offers business service plans for fixed sites, vehicles and boats. We can supply and install them, including leasing the hardware, and add 4G or 5G failover.

Does satellite broadband work with a 4G or 5G router?

Yes. A multi-WAN router can use satellite and mobile together, switching automatically if one fails, or bonding them into one connection.

Can I hire satellite broadband for an event?

Yes. Short-term rental is available for events, film and TV, and temporary sites. Tell us the dates and location.

What does the dish need?

A clear view of the sky, a mounting point and power. We check the site and advise on mounting before installation.
