Telecommunications

The centre must be equipped with effective means of communication (phone, fax, Internet connection) to be able to communicate efficiently with customers, suppliers and subsidiaries. A low-bandwidth Internet connectivity may not be sufficient to run an active centre. It is recommended to have a high-speed Internet connection.In areas not covered by cable or ADSL, there is the possibility to establish a high-speed Internet connection via satellite, which guarantees a rapid, reliable and permanent Internet access.

This type of connection requires specific outdoor equipment (satellite dish, cable, etc.) as well as a computer (with DVB-s card). There are several types of subscription offers for satellite connection, providing different bandwidths.

The transmission/reception material required is generally specific to the provider. Advantages for each type of subscription must be carefully considered, in order to select the best offer with the best bandwidth.
