....high-speed ViaSat broadband service which will be launching in January 2012, coinciding with the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). With a baseline offer of up to 12 Mbps for $50 per month, satellite broadband can now compete more effectively against other home broadband alternatives. Demos will be presented in three different scenarios: Residential, commercial airline, and satellite news gathering. The residential demo will feature typical, everyday consumer applications. There will be a commercial airline broadband showcase that offers iPads and airline seats to reveal what is possible with this new Ka-band airborne service. And for SNG, innovative newsgathering demos will show how live, HD video can be sent and received using a portable satellite terminal, one that’s designed for easy transport and setup by a single person.
The new services roll out on January 16th, all enabled by ViaSat’s all-new satellite system architecture, featuring ViaSat-1, the world’s highest capacity satellite, and an innovative ground system with embedded Internet acceleration technology. These demos may be experienced at Booth CP 14 located outside the Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Company information.
