C-COM Satellite Systems Inc., (TSX VENTURE:CMI), the leading global provider of
mobile auto-deploying satellite antenna systems, announced today that its highly
regarded iNetVu(R) auto-deploy antenna system has been utilized during the Super
Bowl to provide assured communications during the event.
Deployed Communications and Technologies (DCAT) from Pennsylvania, an
experienced C-COM mobile satellite service integrator has provided the complete
turnkey system that delivered high speed broadband connectivity into NJ
TRANSIT's Emergency Operations Center.
The solution consisted of a C-COM iNetVu(R) Ka-75V satellite antenna paired with
a modem and connectivity provided by ViaSat's Exede(R) Enterprise service. The
easy to use one button auto-deploy antenna system mounted on the roof NJ
TRANSIT's portable Communications On Wheels (COW) trailer, delivered a solid 15
Mbps downlink and 5Mbps uplink (with peaks reaching more than 26 Mbps).
Services provided with the link included broadband Internet connection into the
trailer, Wi-Fi that could feed multiple trailers and a 8-line PBX Voice Over IP
connection.
"The Exede service data rates provided reliable levels of primary and back-up
service to the operations compound in the event of a failure or overload of
terrestrial services. A five day joint effort got the system delivered,
installed, commissioned and in service at the compound in time for pre-event
testing," said Bruce Barton, President of DCAT.
"The high speeds provided by the Exede service in conjunction with the mobile
iNetVu(R) Ka-75 are allowing responders to communicate faster and easier than
ever before," said Justin Luczyk, Director of Business Development at ViaSat
Inc.
"We are pleased to be able to assist first responders with a cost effective and
reliable solution that the combined C-COM manufactured iNetVu(R) and the ViaSat
provided Exede service delivers," said Leslie Klein, President & CEO of C-COM
Satellite Systems Inc.
