New Mobile Internet Antenna

New Mobile Internet Antenna

A small canadian company has announced the availability of its latest iNetVu Mobile satellite antenna platforms, which was developed to work with the new Ka frequency band, a breakthrough satellite communications technology.

The iNetVu Ka66 has been designed to take advantage of this new satellite service which delivers dramatic improvements in two-way, high-speed Internet services for consumers and businesses throughout North America. The Ka66 Mobile Platform has been tested over Telesat Canada's Anik F2 Satellite.

The iNetVu Ka66 will be able to deliver two-way satellite based Internet solutions, VoIP and Video cost effectively, using a low profile mobile or transportable antenna system that can deliver comparable performance to significantly larger and more expensive products. Users of the iNetVu Ka66 mobile satellite Internet platforms will be able to automatically locate the satellite from a vehicle or moveable structure by a simple push of a button and be instantly and securely connected to the Internet at broadband speeds.

ViaSat Enhances LinkStar System

ViaSat Enhances LinkStar System

ViaSat's newly enhanced LinkStarS2 VSAT networking system incorporates the new DVB-S2 waveform, offering up to 30% greater bandwidth efficiency and substantially reducing network operating costs. The S2-capable LinkStar hub integrates remote LinkWayS2 mesh VSAT terminals into the same network, enabling flexible hybrid star/mesh network architectures.

LinkStarS2 and LinkWayS2 can now interoperate seamlessly, offering maximum network design flexibility. ViaSat's LinkWay broadband IP mesh network is meeting the needs of business, military, and government clients with applications ranging from broadband IP enterprise networks to distance learning. The addition of a DVB-S2 receiver to LinkWay enables hybrid star/mesh networks managed by a single LinkStarS2 hub.

The LinkStar S2 system builds on the leading DVB-RCS capable VSAT system, with over 100 networks and 75,000 remote terminals worldwide. The new S2-capable LinkStar S2 hubs and remote terminals are compatible with standard DVB-S LinkStar remotes and offer a simple, cost effective transition to the benefits of DVB-S2.

DVB-S2 is the latest advance in transmission technique from the Digital Video Broadcasting Project industry consortium and features a variety of technology enhancements over the current DVB-S standard. The new standard is designed to cut the cost-per-bit to transmit data by satellite by providing more efficient use of satellite transponders.

ViaSat has a full line of VSAT products for data and voice applications, and is a market leader in Ka-band satellite systems, from user terminals to large gateways.

Satellite Internet

DiRECWAY - HughesNet - Starband - iDirect - Linkstar

Satellite Internet with an edge for small office/home office.

DiRECWAY Internet via satellite Home Edition provides premium performance at a value price. This satellite Internet service is versatile enough to be used in your store, small office, or home office and ideal for families and teleworkers.

With Satellite Internet service no need to keep your phone busy

With a DiRECWAY 2-Way satellite connection, you won't tie up your primary phone line or need to install an expensive second line for your Internet connection. Stay connected as long as you like without worrying about missing important phone calls. No more waiting for an old-fashioned Internet dial-up connection. Keep calling!

Satellite Internet Connection Product Features

To get connected all you need is a DiRECWAY satellite dish (typically a 0.74m dish) installed at your home or office so it faces the southern sky. Coaxial lines connect your dish to a "satellite modem". This modem is directly connected to your PC. No phone lines are needed after initial set-up. The satellite Internet system is installed and activated by expert installers. Unlike one-way Internet via satellite, 2-Way DiRECWAY satellite Internet offers download and upload capabilities straight from the dish. This means that no phone lines are required to surf the net, or to send important files and emails to friends, customers and suppliers.

Broadband Satellite Internet Speed

Isn't it time to let go of that slow phone modem? DiRECWAY satellite Internet service gives you a broadband connection, so you can get more excitement out of the Internet than you ever thought possible - without the wait or hassle.
2-Way DiRECWAY service allows users to download Internet content at speeds of up to 400++ kbps. That's 8 times faster than the average modem. The DiRECWAY broadband satellite system provides a satellite return channel with upload speeds rated at up to 128 kbps (50-70Kbps typical). This is still considerably faster than most modems. You can now download a 2MB file in just 30 to 40 seconds.

Broadband Satellite Internet Speed

The satellite communications industry is a mature and stable one. For decades, satellites have been used to transport analog voice and video signals around the globe, providing excellent quality and reliability. Reliability of the actual satellites once placed in operation approaches 100%. Failures have almost always occurred during launch or prior to deployment of services. In addition to voice and video signals, satellites have been successfully used to transport data for many years. Everyone has seen the dishes on top of gas stations and convenience stores that are used for low-speed transactions such as credit card approvals. With the advent of the Internet, satellite technology companies have added broadband IP support making it possible for even the most remote locations to participate in the World Wide Web.
Most legacy broadband satellite solutions have been built by piggybacking IP on top of DVB satellite technology, which was designed for television video. These solutions are inefficient and sluggish, and generally provide poor uplink performance and lack support for applications such as VoIP. New technology from iDirect, developed from the ground up to support IP over satellite, has had the effect of upgrading performance in a manner that is similar to the upgrade from a shared Ethernet hub to a switch. The resulting solution provides enterprise class quality and reliability.

Since the satellite Internet era began, we have offered a complete line of broadband satellite Internet equipment and service levels.

We are a full-service broadband satellite Internet access provider, with satellite Internet service deployed to thousands residential users.

We offer satellite Internet services powered by the award-winning DiRECWAY platform from Hughes Network Systems. Satellites include the Eutelsat W1, Galaxy 11, Galaxy 4R, and Horizons 1 operated by PanAmSat, as well as the SATMEX5 satellite.
