FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, June 22, 2006/Satnews Daily/ — ND SatCom, a global supplier of satellite-based broadband VSAT, broadcast and defense communication network solutions, has delivered 16 SkyWAN® terminals that will support telemedicine applications in Kazakhstan.
ND SatCom said the telemedicine pilot project has been implemented in two of the 17 Kazakh regions and a follow-up contract has been awarded recently for additional 22 terminals in three other regions.
In Kazakhstan, SkyWAN® connects medical centers, hospitals and medical universities throughout the country. Due to Kazakhstan’s lack of terrestrial infrastructure in remote areas, satellite communication is the only solution for fast and reliable connections between rural areas and urban medical institutions.
ND SatCom said its telemedicine solution enables telephoning, videoconferencing and the exchange of medical data, such as the latest research findings in databases. Applications which are supported by the system include live operations and emergency teleconferencing.
