Post Office Key Features
Reliability
The complete network of neXat, which manages its own Network Management System (NMS), is permanently monitored thanks to check terminals located in different strategic spots in Africa.
In addition, ACM coding and modulation technology offers the most optimized link to each individual site within the satellite footprint, taking into account weather conditions - heavy rains, in particular.
We measure a service availability of > 99,5% over 1 complete year, including heavy rain periods.
Security
The financial transactions can be performed whether through a full private network, using its own private IP addresses provided by neXat. In which case, the Financial Institution benefits from the highest possible level of security. Alternatively, neXat can propose different solutions based on the implementation of VPN tunnels such as GRE or OpenVPN and even IPsec if requested.
