C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. and ViaSat Inc. have signed
an agreement to develop a low profile, Ka-band mobile
antenna system for the emerging commercial Ka-band services
market. C-COM will manufacture, sell and support this new
on-the-move antenna product under ViaSat license.
C-COM sells its highly acclaimed Comm-On-The Pause
auto-deploy iNetVu antennas worldwide and plans to use its
existing distribution channel to commercialize the new Comm-On-The-Move
mobile antenna.
"We want to bring affordable high speed broadband
connectivity over satellite to our land-based customers,
much the same way commercial airlines are rolling it out for
inflight broadband connection." said Bilal Awada, Chief
Technology Officer of C-COM Satellite Systems.
C-COM has selected Viasat as the ideal technology partner
to enter the Comm-On-The-Move market as a result of their
extensive experience with Ka-band technology and world
renowned high speed satellite services.
"We are delighted to take our existing relationship with
ViaSat to the next level" said Leslie Klein, CEO of C-COM
Satellite Systems Inc. "We share a common objective to
leverage our strengths and experience for the benefit of our
customers and strive to deliver state-of-the-art technology
and service solutions that will enhance their Internet
experience", Leslie Klein continued.
"We look forward to this collaboration that will combine
our technology strengths and bring mutual benefits to the
customers of both companies," said Stefano Vaccaro, Managing
Director at ViaSat.
