IPSTAR SNG

It's one of the IPSTAR SNG demo unit that I had seen at Thaicom's HQ in Thailand.

The second picture below shows the details of what's inside.

Basically, it contains the encoder, decoder, modulator, old type of IPSTAR modem for broadband applications - video streaming.

This time, IPSTAR sales guys usually recommend to their clients to use SkyEdge II - IP modem for a much better performance for their streaming applications.

For broadcast applications, Ericsson brand for encoder, decoder, modulator, etc. are recommended to the clients.

IPSTAR technical guys in coordination with other suppliers of other brands for SNG equipment were also doing POC to find out whether or not their product is working perfectly with IPSTAR satellite technology.

Everyone is hoping that the POC results were positive so these other brands could also be recommended to their clients for the cost of it is much better than Ericsson.

IPSTAR SOLAR POWERED VSAT

This is one of the VSAT solutions IPSTAR team had installed in Tacloban through its service partner - AZComm.

It's a solar powered IPSTAR VSAT which was the only possible solution that time right after typhoon Haiyan (a.k.a. typhoon Yolanda) devastated Tacloban.

It helped Eastern Visayas State University in its IP based communications in and out of Tacloban via the Internet through IPSTAR broadband satellite.

The other photo below is a closer look of a similar set-up but in another area and using a smaller antenna size -0.84 meter.

Both of the set-ups provided a very stable, reliable, efficient and fast Internet connection.

This is the solution that could also be offered to the remote areas where there's no Internet and power supply.
