SkyWave Mobile Communications announced the availability of
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) with IDP 700
satellite-cellular terminals. This option ensures the most
cost-effective communications network can be accessed
without sacrificing coverage or connectivity to essential
data.
The satellite-cellular terminals provide a quick and
smart way to connect people and assets anywhere in the
world. SkyWave's IDP 700 series terminals are designed for
tracking vehicles moving between urban and remote areas.
They also provide dual or redundant backup systems to ensure
functionality in the event of failure, mishap, or change in
operational conditions.
"With the HSPA option, these satellite terminals are able
to use 2G (GPRS) and 3G (HSPA) networks when available,”
said Sue Rutherford, Director of Marketing at SkyWave. “But
when these options are not able to accommodate the
collection and broadcast of important data and information,
satellite connectivity with the IDP 700 series makes it
possible to send and receive the data necessary to monitor,
manage and control remote assets in a timely manner."
