Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Adelaide-based Australian Satellite Services has installed a new hub on the US west coast that will enable it to provide a range of IP-based broadband services to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Australian Satellite Communications Pty Lt (which trades as Australian Satellite Services) has purchased an iDirect 51F hub from VT Systems' subsidiary iDirect and plans to introduce both Ku-Band and C-Band services into Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. It already uses an iDirect hub to serve much of the Asia Pacific region but according to iDirect the new hub will enable it to provide high- speed connectivity to the oil and gas and maritime industries and support bandwidth-intensive IP applications that must function in real time.
The new hub will also enable Australian Satellite Services to deliver Internet broadband, VoIP and other services to government, educational and non-profit organisations expanding their operations in the region. According to Australian Satellite Services' managing director, Chris Joseland, "The Asia Pacific region is so vast, and the applications for satellite communications so diverse that iDirect is the only platform capable of meeting all our business objectives. With iDirect's intelligent technology, we can combine users with diverse user profiles onto the same hub platform to save both space segment and capital costs, and pass on these benefits to our customers."
According to iDirect, its group quality of service (QoS) feature will allow Australian Satellite Services to allocate bandwidth efficiently across remotes and tailor service levels to balance real-time and less critical applications that share a common network.
