CEO to address conference on broadband on the move
Yoqneam, Israel, and Washington, D.C. - February 11, 2009 - Starling Advanced Communications is introducing the StarCarTM antenna system for land vehicles at Satellite 2009 at booth 1206.
In addition, Starling CEO and Founder Micha Lawrence will be sharing his expertise during the conference session: "Satellite Services Enabling Broadband on the Move," which will be held on Thursday, March 26, at 10:15 a.m.
The StarCarTM self-contained antenna system features Starling's unique streamlined design, with all RF and electronics housed directly on the antenna. The unit is easily installed on any emergency vehicle - police cars, ambulances, search and rescue, etc. - for critical communications or for homeland-security contingency planning, as it allows for the instant creation of an extremely reliable communications infrastructure during times when the land-based network backbone is inaccessible.
Starling's engineers are the pioneers in Ku broadband technology for broadband on the move. With the StarCar, they have created a low-profile, low-power, low-maintenance and very lightweight antenna with the fastest transmit and receive data rates on the market - essential features when lives are on the line. The StarCar solution leverages Starling's unique coherent multi-panel antenna (CoMPATM) technology, providing extremely powerful performance of up to 40Mbps, facilitating voice, streaming internet and video and the transmission of other types of heavy files.
"We're very excited to launch the new StarCar system at our first Satellite show," states Jacob Keret, VP Marketing and Sales, Starling Advanced Communications. "Our mobile Ku-band antennas ensure essential communication everywhere, even in remote areas with no communications infrastructure."
Starling also offers a full line of cutting-edge Ku-band antennas, including its signature MIJET FamilyTM line of airborne antennas. The self-contained MIJET antennas are easily installed on the fuselage of any aircraft, with only a single cable leading directly into the plane. MIJET delivers in-flight entertainment and communications to passengers and crew, increasing airlines' revenues; providing business jets with an "executive suite in the sky"; and ensuring other types of mission-critical broadband applications for the private and public sectors. The MIJET Family line fulfills both the ITU and FCC satellite requirements.
"We're leveraging our extensive experience with airborne antennas to provide the fastest, most reliable, and cost-efficient `broadband on the move' land system available," concludes Keret. "Our products are the end result of the decades of experience of our managers and engineers, so we're poised to become the industry leader."
