Logical Wireless — satellite and wireless internet provider in South Africa
Logical Wireless is a Johannesburg connectivity company trading through its BettaSat brand, working from Hyde Park and registered in South Africa as 2004/012749/07. The business connects sites that terrestrial networks struggle to reach, running low-earth-orbit satellite capacity on the OneWeb constellation alongside traditional geostationary Ku and Ka band services, then adding fibre and home internet where the ground network does reach. Its client logos include Transnet, Capitec and Omnia.
Key facts
| Who they are | A South African connectivity provider specialising in satellite internet, trading as BettaSat, which the site describes as a division of Logical Wireless |
| Wireless services | Low-earth-orbit satellite on the OneWeb constellation and geostationary satellite on Ku and Ka band, which together cover sites with no terrestrial option |
| Also offers | Terrestrial fibre and home internet, network integration and cloud-based IT solutions |
| Head office | Investment Place, Block C, 111 10th Road, Hyde Park, Johannesburg, 2196, per the company’s own site. Its Google Business Profile lists a nearby Hyde Park address at Fountain Grove Office Park, 5 2nd Road |
| Coverage | Southern Africa. Satellite coverage is not limited by terrestrial footprint, which is the point of the offering, though a clear view of the sky is required at each site |
| ICASA licence | No ICASA reference is published. Satellite services in South Africa are regulated, so ask for the licence reference or the licensed partner carrying the service |
| Pricing | Not published. Satellite capacity is priced per site by data allowance and service level, and the hardware is a separate capital item, so treat it as quote-based |
| Registration | Company registration 2004/012749/07 is published on the site, which places the registration in 2004. No founding narrative or trading-since date is stated separately |

Where terrestrial networks stop
Satellite is what you buy when the ground network cannot reach you, and Logical Wireless has moved with the technology rather than staying on legacy capacity. Low-earth-orbit service on OneWeb sits at a fraction of the latency of traditional geostationary links, which matters for anything interactive: voice calls, remote desktop sessions, video meetings. Geostationary Ku and Ka band still has a role for broadcast-style and lower-cost bulk traffic, and having both means the recommendation is not forced by what the supplier happens to sell. Two questions decide the outcome for a remote site: what the data allowance and fair-use policy actually permit, and who installs and maintains the dish when nobody on your team can. The client list points at mining, logistics and financial sites, which is exactly where this shows up. Other options are listed in the wireless provider directory.
Who Logical Wireless is a fit for
- Mines, farms and lodges with no fibre or fixed-wireless option at all
- Enterprises needing a backup path that does not share terrestrial infrastructure
- Multi-site operations mixing satellite for remote sites with fibre at head office

What is the difference between LEO and GEO satellite?
Low-earth-orbit satellites like the OneWeb constellation sit far closer to the ground, so latency drops sharply and interactive applications work properly. Geostationary Ku and Ka band satellites sit much higher, adding delay that voice and remote desktop sessions feel.
Can satellite internet carry VoIP calls?
On a low-earth-orbit service, generally yes, because latency is low enough for conversation. On traditional geostationary links the delay is noticeable and calls feel awkward. Say upfront if voice matters, because it changes which service fits.
Is BettaSat the same company as Logical Wireless?
BettaSat is described on the site as a division of Logical Wireless. It is the connectivity brand, so quotes and support may arrive under either name.
Does weather affect satellite internet?
Heavy rain can attenuate satellite links, particularly on Ka band, an effect known as rain fade. Ask what fade margin the link budget allows for your site and what happens to the service during a serious storm.
What does satellite internet cost?
No pricing is published. Cost is driven by data allowance, service level and the hardware at each site, and the dish and equipment are usually a separate capital item from the monthly fee. Ask for both figures.
Where is Logical Wireless based?
The site gives Investment Place, Block C, 111 10th Road, Hyde Park, Johannesburg. The Google Business Profile lists a nearby Hyde Park address at Fountain Grove Office Park, so both point to the same area.
