Space Data Corporation deploys Lemko DiMoWiNe broadband Internet solution in Alaska
Residents
of the remote region of Atqasuk, Alaska can now access wireless
broadband connectivity thanks to the new satellite-based commercial
LTE network established by a collaboration between Space Data
Corporation and Lemko Corporation. The first in the region, the
DiMoWiNe-powered Space Data long term evolution (LTE) network will provide regional
subscribers with high-speed mobile broadband.
Carrier
company Space Data specializes in low-cost connectivity solutions for
rural and remote areas where fiber or cell towers cannot be deployed
due to terrain and costs. The Company leveraged the DiMoWiNe
(Distributed Mobile Wireless Network) software solution by Lemko to
create and deploy an affordable yet efficient LTE network.
The
satellite Internet services of the LTE network are delivered by the
high-altitude SkySite Network. Space Data designed its proprietary
communications platforms to be operated by a single person and
launched within a couple of minutes from any location on Earth.
Space
Data's Alaskan LTE network is powered by Lemko's DiMoWiNe software
solution. DiMoWiNe is a virtualized core software program collocated
at the eNodeB that speeds up the network by reducing signaling
traffic. Virtualizing the core moves switching and routing to the
edge of the network. The result is an LTE solution that can tolerate
greater amounts of latency and with the capability to deliver mobile
broadband over satellite.

Avanti, InSat, Newtec finish testing Ka-band satellite Internet hub in Cyprus
A
joint announcement by Avanti Communications, InSat, and Newtec
reported a successful conclusion of their joint testing of the new
Ka-band satellite Internet hub infrastructure built by Newtec in the island nation of Cyprus.
Newtec
serves as the exclusive technology partner for all InSat services and a partner of satellite operator Avanti.
In addition to installing the Cyprus Ka-band hub, Newtec will also
provide two-way satellite broadband technology. Its MDM2200 broadband
terminals can provide download speeds of up to 22 Mbps for InSat's
ISP customers.
In
fact, according to InSat, Afghan telecom and Internet service
providers are already testing their managed services. Insat
has installed on-site control stations and customer terminals in
Afghanistan, which allows local Internet service providers to test
out its Hi-Stream broadband Internet-from-satellite service.
InSat
is a managed services provider (MSP) that uses the Newtec Sat3Play
Broadband platform under the Hi-Stream brand name to provide IP
access services for businesses and consumers. The service leverages the significant broadband capacity of Avanti's HYLAS 2 Ka-band satellite.

Honeywell signs MDA with Inmarsat for GX Aviation services
Inmarsat and Honeywell have entered into a master distribution agreement (MDA) that will see Honeywell distributing Inmarsat’s Global Xpress Aviation satellite Internet services to the business aviation sector.
In addition to signing the MDA, Honeywell has secured five years worth of GX capacity. It has also reserved additional satellite broadband capacity up until 2021. This is a compelling endorsement of the future GX service.
Global Xpress is a future high-throughput satellite broadband network that can deliver speeds of up to 50Mbps anywhere in the world. Inmarsat’s GX Aviation solution will leverage the Ka-band satellite network to generate in-flight satellite Internet connectivity to aircraft cabins.
Inmarsat plans to launch GX during the last quarter of 2014. Honeywell will introduce and distribute the GX Aviation Internet-by-satellite solution to business aviation customers in 2015.

Advantech: Discovery satellite hubs achieve 155 Mbps forward link performance
Last week, Advantech Wireless reported that its new generation of Discovery satellite Internet hubs and terminals broke previous performance records by achieving a 155 Mbps forward link throughput performance.
The Discovery Series leverages A-SAT technology, which optimizes satellite bandwidth by switching between SCPC and TDMA modes as needed. This allows a Discovery hub to reach throughput speeds of 155 Mbps on the forward link.
According to CEO David Gelerman of Advantech Wireless, the Company’s next generation satellite hub designs are designed from the get-go to offer optimal performance and reliability. “Our customer set a goal of 155Mbps and in record time, it is realized,” he said in his statement. “Our team of engineers are the best in the business and have built the best VSAT solution in the market.”
The Discovery Series Hub serves as an excellent starter system for new ISPs. The Advantech satellite hub is a two-way, open standard (DVB-RCS), broadband satellite access system. It includes a fully functional hub with 4 inbound carriers, which can be scaled according to the need for increased capacity through software license.
Previously, Internet Service Provider (ISP) start-ups required hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment. Advantech bucks that trend with its Discovery Series, which sells for under $50,000 and can be easily upgraded for more bandwidth. The affordable Advantech satellite hub easy to establish small and medium private satellite networks, commercial enterprises, or government services that provide or rely upon Internet from satellite connectivity.
