What will be the future mobile information society?

C-COM Satellite Systems has completed the integration of its iNetVu mobile antenna systems with Shin Satellite's IPSTAR broadband satellite, Asia's largest satellite broadband system.

The IPSTAR satellite, with a capacity of over 45 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps), has extensive coverage across the Asia Pacific region and offers high speed, 2-way broadband communication to over 100,000 subscribers in 8 countries with 11 gateways including: Australia, Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, New Zealand, and Vietnam. The Malaysian, Filipino and Indonesian gateways are now under construction.

The iNetVu mobile integration with the IPSTAR modem makes it now possible to deliver mobile solutions to existing and new potential IPSTAR customers in the above countries.

“We are pleased to have been able to cooperate with IPSTAR and implement a seamless integration of the iNetVu controller with the IPSTAR modem. This integration will allow us to deliver jointly with IPSTAR a cost effective and reliable mobile solution to a very large area in the Asia Pacific region covered by the IPSTAR network. C-COM will be working closely with our own reseller channels in the region as well as with the large IPSTAR distribution network to promote this new business opportunity” said Leslie Klein, President and CEO of C-COM Satellite Systems.

“We are seeing a large demand for mobile satellite applications in our coverage area and with the successful integration of the C-COM manufactured iNetVu mobile platforms with the IPSTAR modem we will be able to provide our existing and new potential customers with a cost effective, reliable world class mobile satellite solution." said Mr. Patompob Suwansiri, Head of Marketing for IPSTAR.
