Finally, rural customers are within reach by deploying the path breaking Connect-to-Satellite Solution from RTX Network Systems. By introducing its Connect-to-Satellite Solution RTX Network Systems now enables satellite operators to tap into the unexploited potential that lies in rural communities, providing entire communities with wireless telephony and data. 
 
Until now, there has been no cost-effective and reliable way to reach rural communities with voice and data services. RTX Network Systems’ Connect-to-Satellite Solution breaks with existing practices by providing a cost-effective, reliable, and easy way to deploy solutions for rural voice and data services via the operator’s existing satellite network. 
 
Unique Design for Excellent Performance

The Connect-to-Satellite Solution from RTX Network Systems is characterized by having a unique dual radio design, which makes it possible to offer both wireless telephony services and wireless data services. The solution can be tailored with different antenna configurations adapted to create radio coverage for each individual rural area. This includes dedicated indoor radio coverage and coverage of remote areas several kilometers from the satellite end point area.

 

Instead of having a single end point satellite connection, the Connect-to-Satellite Solution extends the existing satellite network from a single point satellite link to a wireless cloud. Furthermore, with the Connect-to-Satellite Solution all local calls in the rural community are kept locally without loading the satellite backhaul, and if the satellite backhaul is disconnected, the system will still be able to offer local services within the rural area. 
 
Cost-effectiveness for a Prosperous Business
The cost of the system follows the size of the rural area; hence, with a minimum initial cost per rural site it is possible for the satellite operators to deploy the solution even in small areas - still maintaining a prosperous business case. From a cost point of view the system is superior compared to more expensive solutions like CDMA and WiMax.
 
The cost-effective design enables satellite operators to deploy local wireless services connected to the satellite backhaul in an affordable and highly efficient way.
 
The Connect-to-Satellite Solution has been tested with one of the global leaders within satellite broadband networks and services, and the solution has already been launched commercially with success by one of South America’s leading providers of remote telecommunications solutions.
 
The Connect-to-Satellite Solution is readily available and is an attractive solution for satellite operators in reaching the last mile in rural areas otherwise left untouched.
 
It is time for ReThinking NetworX^TM.
