Rawafed Libya

RLTT has developed its Tooway product working with its partners Eutelsat and Skylogic. We have secured a wholesale agreement with Eutelsat enabling us to use up to 1.6Gbit/s of capacity on two KA-SAT spotbeams that provide premium reach of Tripoli, Benghazi and surrounding regions. Our use of KA-SAT will accelerate access to high speed Internet for public agencies, enterprises and consumers in the more densely populated areas of Libya. How do you ensure your quoted speeds are achieved? In order for everyone on the Tooway platform to get a good reliable service, we operate a sophisticated Network Management System. Our Tooway products feature a new 'Flat Rate' method of calculating customers day-to-day data consumption. This means that right up to when you've used all your data allowance for the month, you'll benefit from the best possible performance available on the network. Some satellite broadband networks will throttle you even if the network isn't that busy and the bandwidth to maintain services at full speed isn't being used by other customers. Our Tooway network won't do that. Our emphasis is on delivering you the best performance that the network can deliver within your chosen data allowance. Of course we have to take steps to manage usage. If we don't customers can suffer from degraded or denied service when one user (or a small group of users) consumes a disproportionate amount of the network's resources. For instance during peak times, customers who are persistently very heavy users may find that non urgent traffic (like peer-to-peer networking) may be assigned a different priority level by the network to ensure other users receive a good quality service. The way we manage our network means that if the network is very busy, customers who've used less than 50% of their monthly data allowance will be given slightly higher priority to those who've used more than 50%. We estimate that this will only occur at the peak times of network activity. Customers data allowances run for 1 month from their connection date, and customer's data accounts are credited with their new allowance on that date each month.
