TS2 Satellite has recently launched new KA-SAT satellite broadband.

Using the HYLAS 2 spacecraft, TS2 Satellite now provides new high-
speed data services to Iraq, Syria and Armenia.

The HYLAS 2 satellite carries 24 active Ka-band user beams and
six gateway beams. The Ka-band spot beams are providing two-way
communications services to facilitate high-speed delivery of data to
end-user applications such as corporate networking, broadband Internet
access, business continuity services and video distribution.

Marcin FrÄ…ckiewicz, CEO and founder at TS2 Satellite, commented:
“With the launch of new Ka-Band service on Hylas-2, TS2 is proud to
introduce latest technology to customers in Iraq, Syria and Armenia.

New service allows downlink speeds up to 20Mbps, five times the
previous maximum, using a smaller antenna. Higher performance is
gained at a much lower cost, which allows up to four times higher
connection speed at the same cost, if compared to previous Ku-band
service, without compromising connection reliability and stability”.

New Ka-band service is based on the field-tested and proven technology
provided by iDirect. Ka-band service requires smaller antenna,
reducing the equipment and transportation costs and making the
installation easier.
