Posted on: Thursday, 22 January 2009, 07:05 CST

WARSAW, Poland, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- TS2 Satellite Technologies' network in Iraq and Afghanistan has over 15,000 military users of local broadband satellite connections.

"We were among the first telecommunications operators in the satellite technology in the territory of Iraq and Afghanistan, and as such we have enjoyed a successful cooperation with the U.S. Army for several years now," says Marcin Frackiewicz, CEO of the TS2 Satellite Technologies.

TS2 Satellite Technologies offers two-way high-speed Internet access with no phone lines, no cable and no dial-up modem. It's always on, available virtually anywhere, and affordable. The laptop or Wi-Fi network can receive Internet signal through a special satellite VSAT modem, which was usually set up in a building or tent when deployed.

The one VSAT access point provides the following services for soldiers:

-- Broadband access to the Internet (WWW, E-mail, FTP etc.)

-- Data transfer to many other users simultaneously

-- Telephone connections including VoIP, IP phone

-- Video-conference connections

Advantages of the system:

-- Short set-up time

-- Fast and easy upgrades

-- Possibility of guaranteed CIR

-- Transmission in almost all weather conditions

The communication among the bases is possible thanks to the simultaneous lease of bands on the Intelsat 10-02, Intelsat 901 and Eutelsat W6 satellites whose coverage enables configuration of connections between any place in Europe, Middle East and Southwest Asia.
