ND SatCom, a leading global supplier of satellite-based broadband VSAT, broadcast and military communication network solutions, has been awarded a multi million USD contract to provide the national electric power company in Kazakhstan with a satellite-based communications network to improve its infrastructure. The VSAT network will be financed by a loan from the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development – EBRD.
The turn key solution covers the delivery of more than seventy VSAT stations, a powerful network management system for planning,
controlling and monitoring the overall system as well as various engineering and service packages. A satellite network is ideally suited to provide end to end services with high availability. The complete network, which supports different applications such as voice and data simultaneously, is operated by ND SatComs local partner TNS-Plus, a leading telecommunications operator in Kazakhstan, and will be ready for operation by the end of 2004.
“We strongly believe that the Eastern European Market will continue to grow extensively over the next decade. With our local partner TNS-Plus
we have found a reliable and strategically well positioned partner not only for this but also for future projects in Kazakhstan. Based on our
SkyWAN(R) system using the latest MF-TDMA DAMA technology, the VSAT network allows a very cost effective satellite network solution. Even though SkyWAN(R) offers much higher flexibility, it requires much lower bandwidth capacities compared to other VSAT solutions.”, comments Dr. Karl Classen, CEO ND SatCom AG.
