[SatNews] Indigo Wireless, a rural wireless operator with service areas in Pennsylvania and Nebraska, used a Globecomm Transportable SatCell trailer to power a wireless network at this past weekend's Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) in Pennsylvania. The event is an off-road vehicle rally which stops in remote Germania, PA, where current coverage is limited.

Globecomm worked with Indigo Wireless to set up its GSM SatCell trailer in Germania to provide additional GSM coverage in this area. SatCell Instant Wireless is an integrated satellite terminal and wireless base station, housed in a trailer mounted enclosure for rapid deployment of cellular voice and data services. With the addition of a mast or other mobile antenna, it provides a fully operable network node that can be moved to any strategic location and set up and activated within an hour. The SatCell unit can operate as an island of coverage or be interconnected with other terminals to form a wide-area network.
