Satellite internet
Satellite internet for businesses, farms and country homes
Satellite internet for business sites, project locations and field operations, and for farms and country homes beyond the reach of wired networks. We survey the location, install the dish and hand over a working connection.
Benefits
Where wired networks do not reach
For places that cable and fiber do not reach: the connection arrives by satellite at a dish installed on site.
A site survey before any proposal
We review the location, the view of the sky and the power supply, and tell you what to expect before you sign.
A licensed carrier since 2009
Hablame surveys the site, installs and supports the service. For a business, the site can join your multi-site network and your phone service.
What’s included
Satellite internet for business
Connectivity for rural sites, construction projects, camps and field operations beyond the reach of wired networks and, where the survey shows it is feasible, as an additional link for a site that is already connected.
Rural sites and working farms
Scales, cameras, inventory and invoicing connected to head office.
Construction sites and camps
Connectivity for daily operations and reporting to head office.
Field operations
Work sites far from the cities, surveyed one by one.
Additional link
A satellite path for a site that is already connected; assessed site by site.
A plant in the countryside, a months-long construction project, an energy project camp or an office in a remote town all need internet to report, invoice, check their cameras and talk to head office. If wired networks do not reach the site, or bringing them in makes no sense for a temporary operation, a satellite link takes the connection there.
We also assess it as an additional link: a site that is already connected can add a satellite path that does not depend on the local wired network. We design it site by site, together with your backup plan and your multi-site network.
Satellite technology, capacity and feasibility are defined in each site survey.
Satellite internet for your home or farm
If you live on a farm, in a country home or in a rural area that cable internet does not reach, we bring you a satellite connection.
Farms and country homes
For people who live or spend time away from the city.
For the whole family
Study, work from home and stay in touch with your loved ones.
We install the dish
Installed, tested and working.
Clear expectations
In plain words, before you sign up.
It is internet for everyday life at home: homework for the kids, working from the farm, video calls with family, and paperwork and payments online. We install a dish at your home, and from there the connection reaches the house so you can use your phones and computers.
Before installing, we go over the location with you: where the dish can go so it has a clear view of the sky, with no trees or roofs in the way, and how it connects to power. That way you know what to expect before you sign up.
Availability, technology and service terms for your home are confirmed by the location survey.
How the connection reaches you and how we install it
A dish on site talks to the satellite, and the satellite to the network that connects you to the internet. We survey the location before installing, and afterwards hand over a tested, working connection.
Site survey
Location, view of the sky, power and expected usage.
Dish on site
On a roof, mast or stand, depending on the site.
Power considered
We review how the equipment will be powered.
Installation and turn-up
We install, test with you and hand over a working connection.
The connection does not depend on cables in the area: the dish, mounted on a roof, a mast or a ground stand, sends and receives the satellite signal. That is why it needs a clear view of the sky, with no trees, buildings or hillsides in the way, and power for the equipment.
In the survey we review the location, the best spot for the dish, the power available and how you will use the connection. From there we define the feasible satellite technology and explain what you can expect from it. Weather can affect the signal at times, especially in heavy rain; we cover that before installing too.
Equipment, installation and what you can expect from the connection are set out in the proposal, after the survey.
Satellite, broadband or fiber: how to choose
Where wired networks reach, dedicated fiber or broadband is usually a business’s first option. Satellite is for places they do not reach, or for adding another path.
For a business in an area with wired networks, those networks are usually the first option: a dedicated fiber circuit if you need reserved, symmetrical capacity, or broadband for an office or a store. We check your address and tell you what reaches it.
Satellite internet is the option when wired networks do not reach: a farm, a country home, a construction site or a camp. For a business, it can also be the additional path for a site that is already connected; we assess it site by site.
Dedicated fiber
For sites that need reserved, symmetrical capacity, where fiber reaches.
Business broadband
For offices and shops on wired networks that do not need reserved capacity.
Satellite internet
For sites, farms and homes that wired networks do not reach.
Combine them
Fiber or broadband in town and satellite in the countryside, from the same carrier.
For rural communities and housing projects
We work with property management or the developer to assess bringing a satellite connection to a rural gated community, a country subdivision or a housing project in an area without wired networks.
Rural gated communities
Homes on plots or lots, far from wired networks.
Gatehouse and common areas
Connectivity for management, the gatehouse and shared spaces.
Projects under construction
We plan connectivity with the developer from the design stage.
Custom project
Designed around the number of homes and their layout.
Depending on the number of homes, the distance between them and how they will use the connection, we assess whether it makes sense to connect the gatehouse and common areas, each home separately, or an internal network that shares the connection across the homes.
We handle it as a custom project: we survey the property and design for its homes, its phases and its common areas.
Assessed for each project: scope and feasibility depend on the location, the number of homes and the design.
Step by step
How it works
Tell us where it is
The address or coordinates of the site, what the connection is for and how many people or devices will connect.
Site survey
We review the location, where the dish can go, the view of the sky and the power supply.
Proposal
We present the feasible technology, what you can expect from it and what installation involves.
Installation and turn-up
We install the dish, test with you and hand over a working connection.
By profile
Who it’s for
Small business
For your working farm, your country hotel or your business in a rural area: satellite internet where wired networks do not reach, from a carrier that installs and supports it.
Mid-sized company
Connect your rural sites, plants or construction projects to head office, and bring those sites into your multi-site network.
Enterprise
Camps, energy projects and networks of field sites. We also assess satellite as an additional link for sites that cannot afford to go offline.
Integrator
Satellite access for the field projects you deliver, such as cameras, access control or service points, backed by a licensed carrier.
In practice
Use cases
Construction site or camp
An energy project or a civil works site needs internet for daily reporting, cameras and email, somewhere wired networks do not reach.
Working farm
A farm connects its scales, cameras and e-invoicing to the office in town.
A family on their farm
A family living in a rural area needs internet for school homework, working from home and video calls. We check where the dish should go and leave it working.
Rural site with an extra path
A site in a remote town is already connected but cannot afford to go offline. We assess adding a satellite link as an extra path.
Rural gated community
The management of a rural gated community wants connectivity at the gatehouse and in common areas, plus options for the homes. We assess it as a project.

Frequently asked questions
Is satellite internet available where I live or where my site is?
We confirm it with a site survey. Send us the address or coordinates and we will tell you whether it is feasible and what to expect.
Do you offer it for homes and farms, or only for businesses?
Both. We bring satellite internet to businesses and also to homes, farms and country homes that wired networks do not reach. We explain the service terms for your home in the proposal.
What speed will I get?
It depends on the satellite technology that is feasible at your location and on how you will use it. We give you that information once the survey is done, not before.
What do I need on site to install it?
A spot for the dish with a clear view of the sky, with no trees or buildings in the way, and power for the equipment. We review it with you during the survey.
Does it work when it rains?
Weather can affect a satellite signal at times, especially in heavy rain. In the survey we explain what you can expect at your site.
Can I use it as a backup for my current connection?
We assess it site by site. Where feasible, a satellite link can be the additional path for a site that already has another connection, because it does not depend on the local wired network.
If fiber reaches my site, should I still consider satellite?
Where wired networks reach, a business’s first option is usually dedicated fiber or broadband. Satellite is for places they do not reach, or as an additional path. We help you choose.
