TS2 Satellite Technologies company is introducing new broadband services on Eutelsat EB4 & W6 satellites to the MENA Region. These types of telecommunication products are mainly used by the companies that execute contracts in the Near East and Asia, as well as by the soldiers that are stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Purchased bands gives TS2 unlimited possibilities of configuration and setting any telecommunication connections from the Near East region and South-Western Asia.

 

The one satellite system provides following services:

 

* Broadband access to the internet (www, e-mail, ftp etc.)
* Data transfer
* Access to application programs
* Telephone connections including VoIP, IP phone
* Video-conference connections
* The transfer of data, or image to many other users simultaneously

 

Advantages of the system:

 

* Short set-up time, (1-2 weeks for a system)
* Fast and easy upgrades
* Possibility of guaranteed CIR
* Transmission in almost all weather conditions
* Cheap and quick delivery of equipment to Iraq and Afghanistan (5-7 days)

 

The Internet connection can be shared with other soldiers via wireless or wired network. Most soldiers deploy with a laptop in hand and a hookup to the Internet in their barracks. This is especially important for the many who are married, and have young children. The Internet access has resulted in major morale improvements. Troops no longer feel cut off from home.

The French Ministry of Defence renews its satellite telecommunications services



The French Ministry of Defence’s telecommunications operator, DIRISI, awarded the entire ASTEL-S contract to Astrium Services at the end of 2009. Astrium has now become the ministry’s sole supplier in the private sector of fixed satellite services. Eric Béranger, CEO Astrium Services said: “This success confirms the French Ministry of Defence’s keen interest in our portfolio of services and their satisfaction with the quality of what we offer.”

 

The four-year contract will provide French forces all over the world with civil (Ku-, Ka- and C-band) and military (UHF- and X-band) satellite telecommunications services that complement the Syracuse network. Astrium Services’ subsidiary, the London Satellite Exchange (LSE), will provide a one-stop shop to meet the needs of the French armed forces and ensure 24/7 service. This contract follows on from the first ASTEL-S contract, which was awarded by the French Ministry of Defence in May 2005 and under which Astrium provided satellite capacity in specific bands. The DIRISI assesses the French Ministry of Defence’s need for capacity could be up to 100 MHz frequency range.
