How to arrange internet in the outlying area

Businesses (and residents) in the outlying area often face limited options for a good fixed internet connection. Traditional wired connections via outdated telephone lines (DSL), often do not offer sufficient stability and speed. And improved connections via cable or fibre are not always available in remote areas. For the fibre-optic network, this is because, because of the high construction and maintenance costs relative to the number of potential subscribers, internet providers often do not find it profitable to build this network.

If there is no (A)DSL or fibre optic cable or if the distance to the neighbourhood cabinet is too great, internet providers offer 4G for the outlying area. Our Octalarm Connect subscription also offers a 4G GSM connection. However, this allows you only 1 call-out option for reporting your process and technical malfunctions. Your alarm process is thus not redundant. For critical, technical processes, we recommend setting up your process redundantly at all times. Since 1 January 2024, it is even mandatory for intensive livestock farming in the Netherlands to have at least two active telephone lines to call out alarms.

For businesses (and residents) in the outlying area, there is now a reliable solution: Starlink.

Starlink: wireless internet connection via satellite network

Starlink is a wireless internet connection that works through SpaceX's satellite network. They have satellites orbiting around the earth that ensure wireless internet is available in vast areas where there is little internet infrastructure and limited telephony/4G coverage.

Get Starlink

  1. Subscribe to Starlink: https://www.starlink.com/gb. Choose a personal or business account and enter the service address.
  2. Select a suitable subscription, the required hardware and mounting materials (and checkout).
  3. Installation and activation is simple via the Quickstart and installation app provided.

Starlink at Adésys

We too have recently started using Starlink's Enterprise kit for businesses. This package is recommended for companies at fixed locations, using their own routers and third-party network equipment.

  1. Starlink for business
  2. Service: Priority – 40 GB
  3. Hardware: Enterprise

We deploy the satellite connection as a backup to our internet connection. And of course, we have tested the deployment of this satellite connection with our Octalarm line; the internet connection via satellite makes it possible to dial out via VoIP!

Wireless internet has been realised: what next?

From the moment you have wireless internet, you can take out a subscription for VoIP (Voice over IP). Octalarm Connect offers you both a 4G GSM and a VoIP line in one subscription. Of course, you can also choose your own provider. Just make sure that this provider offers VoIP over 4G and that the 4G GSM goes over the LTE-M band.

More information: Octalarm Connect

Via the wireless internet, you now have a 4G GSM connection as well as a VoIP connection. This makes your alarm process redundant; you call out over 2 lines.
