Ku-Band Block Up Converter (BUC) will be utilized.
The mobile operator will leverage innovations within these products to
support a number of different end user applications, including
high-speed backhaul of 2G and 3G traffic of up to 70 Mbps to fixed
remote sites and to temporary 3G installations for remote oil and gas
customers. In addition, the solution suite will provide on-demand
support for VIP customers along with high-speed connectivity to
Mobile-on-Wheels vehicles that provide bandwidth when and where needed
on a temporary basis, whether for scheduled events or for unexpected
purposes such as for disaster recovery communications.
