The Situation

Jylan is a freelance web designer and photographer. “I first started web designing when I was 11 years old and my professional experience started when I launched my own website – briterwebdesign.com. Since then, I have been hired as a freelance web designer for small businesses around my town…When I am not designing websites, I can be found taking photos”, he said.

“Aside from my freelance job, I am also writing articles and blogs in my other site – yeppooninfo.com – aiming to provide locals and tourists with photos and information about my town, Yeppoon”, Jylan added.

Broadband Internet Access via IPSTAR

Jylan and his family live in Yeppoon, a coastal resort town in Queensland. Similar to most town residents, he was previously using a slow dial-up connection to upload files and update websites. But with IPSTAR installed recently by SkyMesh, he is now able to do his freelance job

faster and more comfortably by using high speed Internet. Now on his 10th grade, Jylan is also taking distance learning education via IPSTAR broadband Internet.

Thaicom-4 (IPSTAR) is a satellite designed for high speed communications over an IP technology. Designed to push satellite Internet into the mainstream of broadband access, IPSTAR offers affordable bandwidth and rapidly deployable user terminals – anywhere, anytime under its extensive footprint. In addition, the IPSTAR satellite solution provides interoperability between networks, broadcasting services, last mile connectivity, mobile trunking and disaster recovery communications whenever terrestrial infrastructure is unavailable.
