e-go Solutions Expands Africa Operations to Include Satellite Broadband Solutions.

e-go Solutions, London, July 12th 2006: International satellite solutions provider e-go Solutions today announced a significant expansion into the African satellite communications market over the next few months.

With an initial focus on the mining and construction industries e-go Solutions is introducing its high speed broadband satellite solutions, BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) and Broad-IP at two free seminars in Johannesburg in July.

BGAN is a mobile solution which is ideal as a "first in" solution during the exploration phase of new sites. Using highly portable hardware users can deploy within minutes, connecting to voice and data services at broadband speeds of up to 492kbps over a satellite connection, allowing data such as geological survey results to be sent directly to project headquarters.

Broad-IP is a fixed location solution which provides an alternative to VSAT communications currently available in Africa. Once a project site has been established Broad-IP facilitates broadband data speeds up to 2Mb along with up to four dedicated voice lines.

In Africa, e-go Solutions mining and construction customers using Broad-IP will benefit from individual Service Level Agreements and low contention ratios (10:1 or less); lightning protection (for hardware), customs management (to ensure swift deployment of equipment or spares), minimal rain fade (to prevent connection loss in bad weather), and CIR (Committed Information Rate) to prioritise VOIP communications and other business critical applications.

e-go Solutions provides a one stop shop for both BGAN and Broad-IP solutions, enabling customers to place their satellite data and voice requirements in the reliable hands of one company. Specialising in services including procurement, integration and design, as well as installation and customer service, e-go Solutions promises an unrivalled quality of service tailored to the needs of the customer.

The two seminars on 18th July (mining) and 19th July (construction) will address the communication issues faced by the Mining and Construction sectors in Africa today. They will include presentations and demonstrations of the latest in fixed and mobile broadband satellite solutions and will address the problems of establishing reliable communications in remote regions where terrestrial infrastructure is inadequate or where security is paramount.

"e-go Solutions offers full turnkey communications packages that provide remote mining and construction projects with seamless integration to their head offices." said Sally-Anne Ray, Sales Director at e-go Solutions. "South Africa offers so much opportunity in these industries that we expect to increase our market share exponentially in coming months"
