Satellite communications

eQSat uses low cost, easily accessible satellite communication technologies to provide digital content delivery in areas with restricted connectivity. This technology is particularly effective in circumventing censorship, as it bypasses local infrastructure controlled by restrictive regimes. Users can receive websites, video and software updates without needing a traditional connection to the global internet. eQSat can deliver up to 10GB of new content everyday.

Decentralization

Decentralized routing is key to eQSat’s approach for content propagation inside an isolated network environment. It avoids the expected pitfalls of relying on the accessibility of any specific server or node, and is powered by every user on the network. Decentralized storage and peer-to-peer sharing of digital content makes the technology highly resilient to network shutdowns and digital control, ensuring continued availability of newly injected data.
