Segovia Global Coverage
Segovia owns and operates a global satellite and terrestrial network providing high-quality two-way broadband IPv6 communications to commercial and government customers. Through a combination of our industry partnerships and satellite agnostic approach, Segovia provides high capacity, global full-spectrum service including L-, C-, X-, and Ku-band. Our globally diverse teleports have redundant terrestrial connectivity to our private MPLS backbone and to multiple secure hosting facilities. Our multi-layered architecture, including intelligent routing; VPNs; TCP acceleration and compression; and, portable IP addressing, allows fast and secure reach back from your remote satellite terminals to customer-owned resources and networks. Segovia complies with USG, DOD, and international security standards, guidelines, and best practices. The Segovia solution is a secure, reliable platform for all IP communications – supporting classified and unclassified traffic. Network availability exceeds 99.9%.
Ku-band is in the microwave range of frequencies (10 to 14.5 GHz), and is primarily used for land and littoral communications. The higher operational frequency allows smaller receiving antenna systems, enabling more mobile and flexible communication solutions. Ku-band VSATs vary between 60cm and 2.4m in diameter and are ideal for maritime-base communications.
Typical Ku-band Applications include:
Fixed Satellite Services
Mobile Satellite Services
VSAT voice, video and data networks
Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS)
C-band is in the microwave range of frequencies (4 to 8 GHz) and performs better under adverse weather conditions than Ku-band or Ka-band frequencies. C-band VSATs vary between 1.5m and 2.4m in diameter and are ideal for maritime-base communications.
C-band beams cover a large geographic area and facilitate intercontinental and global communications over land and sea and enable cost-effective satellite services to less densely populated or underserved areas.
C-band frequencies are used to provide a wide range of critical services including:
Distribution of Video services
Distance learning, Telemedicine and Universal Access Services
VSAT voice, video, and data networks
Fixed Satellite Services
Government/Emergency communication links, including disaster recovery services
Maritime Services
Oil and Gas Communications
Frequencies between 1 and 2 GHz are referred to as L-band. L-band antennas are small and light-weight making them especially suited for tactical and mobile operation. The primary L-band constellation is the Inmarsat I-4 BGAN Network, which has a direct-connect into the Segovia MPLS backbone. L-band provides global operations and operates in adverse weather conditions and provides seamless global network coverage enabling broadband communications to mobile users anywhere in the world.
Typical L-band applications include:
The X-band frequency range is from 8 to 12 GHz and is used for military-based operations. X-band offers optimal operations in adverse weather, and X-band spot beams are compatible with smaller, mobile terminal equipment.
Typical X-band applications include:
