C-COM Satellite Systems to Use New Ka-Band Comm-on-the-Move Product at IBC

C-COM Satellite Systems (TSXV:CMI) has chosen the International Broadcasters Conference in Amsterdam to release its new Ka-band Comm-on-the-Move product.
According to the press release:

The Ka-band flat panel antenna, named the iNetVu^® inMotion, has been under development since late 2014. The new antenna leverages the broadband speeds offered by High Throughput Satellites (HTS) in Ka band to provide low cost always-on connectivity into a moving vehicle.
With over 7,000 Comm-on-the Pause (COTP) units deployed on vehicles and in transportable cases worldwide, the next logical step for C-COM was to design and manufacture an antenna that works while in motion. The iNetVu^® inMotion antenna opens up land-based COTM markets such as buses, trains, military vehicles and many others which require Broadband Internet via satellite while on the move.

Leslie Klein, president and CEO of C-COM said:

Traditionally, COTM antennas are expensive, elaborate and difficult to support. Most of today’s COTM products are available mainly in Ku-band and are equipped with expensive, high-powered transmitters that deliver limited amount of bandwidth. The new Ka-band COTM solution from C-COM will cost significantly less than a Ku band COTM antenna and will deliver significantly more bandwidth to the user. This new Ka-band antenna system uses next generation high throughput satellites which are capable of delivering significant amount of bandwidth at a fraction of the cost. Governments, Health Services, Broadcasters, Oil & Gas companies, First Responders and many others will benefit from such an economical and robust product.
