C-COM ANTENNA RECEIVES EUTELSAT TYPE APPROVAL

C-Com Satellite Systems Inc. has received its second approval from France-based Eutelsat S.A., one of the world's largest satellite operators, for its iNetVu Ka-74G antenna system equipped with a new Ka transceiver.

The Ka-74G vehicle-mounted mobile antenna system and the new electronically polarized three-watt (3W) XRE transceiver are now officially approved to operate on Eutelsat's Konnect very-high-throughput satellite (VHTS) service which provides coverage in Europe, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa.

When enabled on the Konnect VHTS broadband service, this new 74-centimetre driveaway antenna can deliver speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) download and 10 Mbps upload for various applications.

"The iNetVu 74 cm Ka-band antenna has met and passed Eutelsat Group approval testing per ESOG 120, enabling mobile VSAT terminal options to our customers," said Fabrizio Massaro, senior antenna and transmission engineer from the Eutelsat Group.

"We are happy to offer this new cost-effective and reliable mobile connectivity to Eutelsat's European, Middle East and African customers using this new advanced electronically polarized transceiver," said Leslie Klein, president and chief executive officer of C-Com Satellite Systems.

The iNetVu Ka-74G antenna system is available for immediate delivery.
