FINTEL uses ViaSat LinkStarS2 system for a two-way, broadband service.

VSAT system is designed around the DVB-RCS standard for service providers, ISPs, and corporate networks. LinkStarS2 brings more efficiency and higher data rates to the market than other TDMA systems.

The LinkStarS2 Broadband VSAT System combines broadband access and a high-speed return channel to satisfy bandwidth-intensive applications using IP data over any fixed satellite.

Since their introduction, LinkStarS2 VSATs have been built on a foundation of open-standard DVB technology, including a DVB-S or DVB-S2 forward link and DVB-RCS return link. The FINTEL system offers satellite link speeds up to 10Mbps on the outbound channel and up to 2 Mbps on the inbound channels to the hub.

The remote sites can be content providers, multimedia sources, video conferencing participants, corporate headquarters, schools and Hotels/Resorts.
