PolarSat to upgrade air traffic control
network for Seneam, Mexico
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, December 7, 2003
– PolarSat, a privately-held Canadian company focused
on the development and manufacture of satellite communications equipment,
is pleased to announce that SCT Seneam, Mexico’s airspace
navigation service, continues to upgrade its Satellite Communications
network utilizing the VSAT Plus II satellite communications system.
Seneam’s network will link all the major airports in Mexico,
among them Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, Mazatlán
and Cancun. All points will be set up for transmission of radar
information, telecommunication with pilots via VHF radio, as well
as the transmission of data, fax and telephony.
“The inherent robustness and redundancy ability of the VSATPlus
II makes this product a perfect fit for this application”,
states Gervais Roussy, Regional Director of PolarSat.
The VSATPlus II provides a full mesh, hubless network with no single
point of failure and offers the greatest ease of network configuration
and expansion. It supports the most demanding network applications
including high quality voice, low and high-speed data, video conferencing
and fax - all in a single low-cost, integrated platform. Combined
with the unique direct E1 telephony and Frame Relay interface, the
VSATPlus II is the most cost-effective satellite communications
solution for multi-line and/or multi-application networks in the
world.
PolarSat also offers their FlexiDAMA using SCPC-DAMA satellite access
technology to provide full mesh circuit and packet switched connectivity
with dynamic in-circuit bandwidth-on-demand to provide maximum flexibility
and bandwidth efficiency. Further, the company’s SkyIP (IP-based
technology) offers remote offices simplicity and scalability across
a wide range of telecommunications services, including Internet
access, LAN/WAN interconnects, voice, data, and on-demand video
teleconferencing.
