Are light weight products revolutionizing the Satellite industry? Have your say!

Back in the day size was everything. Whether it was speakers at a rock concert or satellite infrastructure; large ruled the day. As technology and materials have moved on are we finding every greater bandwidth capability and functionality in the small and agile? The biggest advantage; no pun intended, to lighter is transportability. With the wide spread advent of modern materials like carbon fiber and aluminium we are finding increasing performance; reduced costs and overall ease of use in more efficient designs. iSat networks have been at the forefront of this evolutionary step; developing advanced light weight Non-Pen VSAT mount’s, Light weight Power Solution  for VSAT flyaway's, Light weight 1.2m X-Band fly away solutions and a host of other products in addition to our regular range. iSat is embracing smarter, lighter ergonomic designs and materials like high caliber carbon fiber whilst consistently delivering superior performance. iSat has been focusing on developing high value products built to last whilst providing many years of flexibility; facilitating the future of this dynamic exciting industry.

Do you think we should embrace the principal of 'Small is Beautiful?'

How useful are 'blogs' and 'social media' technologies in the Satellite Industry?

For years the satellite industry has been at the cutting edge of the information revolution, enabling global communications and technologies that seemed like science fiction just a few years ago. Many people would be lost without technologies like sat-nav's and digital phones. Yet little thought is given to the industry that makes it all possible. 

Whilst satellite companies like iSat LTD have been at the forefront of some of these developing technologies we are going to look into another developing technology that many have adopted as part of their business model; Social Media. 

Social media is any media that’s interactive and blurs the lines between writer and reader. These technologies give users unprecedented access to communicate and share, but are these technologies really helpful to the Satellite Industry?

Whether its websites like LinkedIn or Facebook, Blogs or even video sites like YouTube, most of us have used these technologies, but are they suited for the busy Satellite industry, and how far should their use go?

iSat are conducting a poll to ask you what you think below!

Romantis- Miniaturised satellite modem and router

iSat - the innovative consulting value added reseller of satellite equipment have completed a number of network studies with results illustrating compelling reasons to use Romantis modems.  Unbelievably flexible and dependable, the features of the Romantis modems are software keyed from a Universal Hardware Platform, meaning a modem can be used in a wide variety of networks and can be quickly redeployed for use in different situations. “The two examples illustrated in our attached Case studies show why, for price and the flexibility offered the Romantis UHP is better than any other solution currently available on the market.” The first Case Study illustrates a 5 site network in remote location running fairly low data rates. The highest data rates are using DVB-S2, and the return paths are using an economical full mesh TDMA (no hub cost required).  “A unique feature of the UHP is that it has 2 receivers in every unit; both DVB and TDMA can receive at the same time. A UHP can receive full mesh TDMA and the broadcast DVB data. The central hub can broadcast DVB and still receive TDMA from the full mesh signal. (it doesn’t need to be timed to receive only).”   The UHP has the ability to operate in SCPC, Full Mesh, TDM/TDMA star hub, and economical combinations of all three enabled by the purchase of different software keys and offers fantastic investment benefits for both capex and ofex.  The second Case Study illustrates an example of how the UHP offers the unique flexibility to scale up a network as revenues increase. Starting with SCPC, moving through TDM with a hubless TDMA, and re-keying again to offer TDM/TDMA to achieve remote modem costs of only 1000 dollars. iSat is a reseller of the “Universal Hardware Platform” (UHP) satellite modem. These high speed dependable solutions are designed & built in Germany and feature advanced Multi-levelled QOS traffic priority technology, programmable TDMA slot lengths, and minimum fixed slots per site!  Click Here to view Romantis Case Studies and info
