Kacific Broadband Satellites Group has launched its satellite internet service in Soru Rural Municipality of Karnali. Following this next-generation leap in connectivity, the subscribers in the area now have access to high-speed broadband service without any need for cable.
The company established its wireless connectivity in collaboration with its trusted partner Itel Net. The service now empowers digital connectivity for businesses and government bodies to connect with the rest of the world. The best part of satellite broadband is that it penetrates in areas where fixed-line internet infrastructure is hard to establish. Although costlier than regular fiber internet, it does have its fair share of advantages. In the 5G vs fiber debate, satellite offers another efficient and viable solution for connectivity.

In the first sign of the perk of it, Kacific says that its satellite service has helped the government bring its operations online.
“We were able to facilitate the shift of all government applications online, ensuring smoother daily office operations- all made possible through the power of fast and reliable satellite internet connectivity,” Kacific said in a statement.
Further, the company adds that it’s playing a part in bridging the digital divide which is crucial for countries like Nepal that’s full of uneven terrain. The complex landscape makes Nepal’s telcos and internet service providers (ISPs) launch traditional broadband systems. However, satellite broadband providers such as Kacific can do that wirelessly.
Kacific entered Nepal officially with its local partner Space Link in August 2022 aiming to offer reliable connectivity in rural areas. The company collaborating with local partners seeks to empower connectivity for government agencies and enterprises in rural and remote areas in Nepal. For its satellite broadband service, it’s got a Ka-band spectrum (19.7-21.2 GHz Downlink, paired with 29.5-31 GHz Uplink)) approval from the Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA).
As per its sites, Kacific currently operates in 25 countries serving over 600 million people with 56 satellite spot beams.
