BizSat is the ideal solution for clients living or working in remote, under-developed or under-serviced areas with limited or zero internet connectivity. It offers the opportunity for affordable, broadband internet connectivity.
Many rural communities can now finally have access to the Internet for the very first time and this is due to BizSat – Du Pont Telecom’s satellite-based broadband internet that delivers ubiquitous coverage.
An additional VoIP (Voice over IP) telephony service is offered to meet your communication needs.
By using the New Dawn Satellite, we can now provide speeds that are on par with typical urban offerings and previously unfeasible within these areas – 256/4096 kbps for upload/download.
In order to meet all the vast telecommunication needs of clients, we also offer VoIP (Voice over IP) telephony services utilising BizSat.
The only additional equipment needed – apart from that required for any conventional broadband Internet connectivity or VoIP telephony solution – is a one-metre satellite dish.
Benefits of BizSat
- Homes and small businesses in urban or rural areas where broadband is currently inaccessible now have access to high speed internet.

BizSat is the ultimate solution for businesses who cannot to have their Internet connectivity down due to power failures.
- Users are less likely to lose signal or suffer interference as a result of adverse weather conditions than they do with their DSTV satellite television broadcasts.
- The bandwidth is not subject to any shaping or fair use policies and the entire system is hosted in and delivered out of South Africa, which contributes to the quality of voice and speed of Internet access.
