The return data rate enabled simultaneous transmission of multiple high data streams from South Africa to Europe with a small antenna, resulting in the low-power Communications-on-the-Pause (COTP) solution. The companies said this opens up operational and business opportunities such as emergency deployments, government applications, coverage of events, and backhaul services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy utilizing the iDirect Evolution platform and iQ 200, we can now offer a unique low footprint, low power and high capacity return links from any remote location, enabling users to enter new markets and facilitate new applications,\u201d said Tsachi Dahan, Spacecom vice president of Vertical Solutions. \u201cAMOS-17\u2019s C-Band spot beams provide superior throughput and efficiencies over Sub-Saharan Africa with connections to Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia.
