The Internet service is provided via coverage from the KA-SAT satellite, a high throughput satellite (HTS) which works entirely on KA band and covers the whole of Europe
The initial service offers for individuals and businesses in Castilla y León is:
A modem (internal unit) with power supply
A 77-cm satellite dish
Up to 25 metres of cable
Furthermore, the Interna-T initiative provides inhabitants with equipment and basic installation for free, thanks to funding from the Castilla y León Regional Government
