C-COM Satellite Systems Inc., has received type
approval for its iNetVu® Ka-98V antenna
system from Eutelsat, the leading European satellite
operator and one of the top three satellite
operators in the world.
The iNetVu® Ka-98V mobile antenna
system is now officially approved to operate on
Eutelsat's KA-SAT High Throughput Satellite and its
new-generation NewsSpotter service. It is the second
C-COM Ka-band vehicle mounted antenna system to
receive Eutelsat approval, along with the Ka-75V
antenna, which received certification in 2012.
Providing native IP connectivity, NewsSpotter is
integrated for the workflows of modern newsgathering
operations and is available across the footprint of
Eutelsat's KA-SAT's satellite that covers Europe,
North Africa and large parts of the Middle East. The
service is designed to transmit High Definition
and/or Standard Definition live video at
transmission speeds of up to 20Mbps.
"The Ka-98V DriveAway antenna has met the
rigorous auto-pointing Verification Test per
Eutelsat ESOG-1 Module 260 requirements, as well as
the RF performance testing, with a good level of
pointing accuracy and repeatability" said Bilal
Awada, CTO of C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.
"With the approval of this new 98 cm antenna,
C-COM is now in a position to offer a mid-sized Ka
band product that will complement our existing 75cm
Ka-75V model" said Leslie Klein, CEO of C-COM
Satellite Systems Inc. "The new sub one-meter Ka-band
antenna system will deliver higher gains compared to
the current 75cm model and will address some of our
clients' needs for better signal margins."
