When the only way of obtaining a signal for a mobile telephone is to get in a boat and row a few hundred yards out to sea – the problems surrounding the establishment of a broadband internet link are obvious for all to see.

Excelerate Technology provides the technology that enables access to broadband in remote locations and was put to the test when providing Scottish Sea Farms the ability to access high speed, secure data, video and voice applications.

The remote nature of the fish farm at Inverie is probably best demonstrated by the fact that it is less than 100 miles south of Skye in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland – but such a remote location does not make the use of e-mail or other internet applications any less important to a modern and successful business. Excelerate’s Satellite Broadband Satellite Solution has enabled Scottish Sea Farms connectivity in real time to Inverie base 43 miles north west of Fort William and Ben Nevis.

“What we had considered to be an almost impossible problem was solved very quickly, and we now have a satellite broadband connection that is already proving to be very important for the development of our business.”
