THE IPSTAR BROADBAND SATELLITE

摘要

Shin Satellite Public Company Limited (SSA), has for the past six years been developing a new broadband satellite system that will effectively deliver broadband solutions to residential and corporate consumers. SSA has funded its US technology partner, which has led to the development, design and patenting of core technologies that are the basis of the IPSTAR Broadband Satellite System. The IPSTAR concept aims to provide a low cost user terminal and bandwidth in order to provide a large scale bandwidth platform of satellite-based broadband that competes more effectively with other terrestrial broadband solution such as ADSL, Cable Modem and Fixed Wireless while, at the same time, retaining the key satellite advantages of large coverage, and fast and flexible service deployment. The IPSTAR 1 project serves target broadband users in eighteen countries in the Asia Pacific region with targeting five million users by the end of 2008.
