In addition to supplying a wide range of VSAT devices for satellite services, PentaMedia is continuously developing new state-of-the-art technologies including mobile satellite internet solutions for moving vehicles of airplane, train, ship. Why satellite?Competing technologies for the fast delivery of multimedia content to consumers, such as ADSL or cable modems, can provide a good solution to users in urban areas where modern digital cable, and high performance digital fibre- optic lines have been laid. Unfortunately, this is not the case for over 90% of the world`s population. Satellite delivery with VSAT provides the most economical way to give access to Internet and multimedia broadband content to rural area. For those areas without a telecommunications infrastructure at all, two way VSAT is a tempting but expensive alternative up to recently. Why DVB-RCS, the standard technology?VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) in the past has been based on each different proprietary technology, and prevented the compatibility with each other.The extremely high cost of terminal is inevitable and delays the expansion of VSAT market. Recently, VSAT standardization, the ?DVB-RCS? (DVB Return Channel via Satellite) has been established to which the VSAT market is moving promptly. PentaMedia is providing the commercialized DVB-RCS standard products at the world most competitive price.
