Using a variety of antennas from 3.7m to 18m in size, Castor offers up- and downlink services allowing customers to use our strategically located teleport facilities, terrestrial backbone network, fiber based Internet connectivity with the Amsterdam Internet Exchange and support services without the required investments and costs to set-up and maintain such an infrastructure.

Due to our geographical position, we are in the best position to provide services on satellites serving Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia, North and Latin America.

Castor guarantees 99.95% availability for overall performance of each individual RF uplink from its Teleport. This is achieved because all components in the antennas supporting Customer services are N+1 redundant with automatic switch-over. Castor offers rack space and remote hands support in its datacenters to host and support customer owned platforms, servers and/or modems.
