[27.02.2006] ViaSat Introduces DVB-S2 and Hybrid Mesh Extensions to LinkStar System

DULUTH, Ga. ViaSat (NASDAQ:VSAT) has announced two important enhancements to its LinkStar VSAT networking system.

ViaSat said LinkStarS2 now incorporates the new DVB-S2 waveform offering up to 30 percent greater bandwidth efficiency -- substantially reducing network operating costs. LinkWayS2 remote terminals integrate into the S2-capable LinkStar hub systems -- enabling powerful and flexible hybrid star/mesh network architectures.

ViaSat said LinkStar is now one of the leading DVB-RCS capable VSAT networking system, with well over 100 operational networks and 80,000 remote terminals worldwide. LinkStar serves a broad array of business and government applications ranging from broadband IP enterprise networks to distance learning. The new S2-capable LinkStar hubs and remote terminals are fully compatible with existing standard DVB-S LinkStar remotes and offer an easy, cost effective transition to the benefits of DVB-S2, ViaSat said.

LinkWayS2 incorporates a DVB-S2 receiver into a new generation of LinkWay remotes -- enabling hybrid star/mesh networks to be managed by a single hub. LinkStarS2 and LinkWayS2 interoperate seamlessly -- offering maximum network design flexibility.

ЂњLinkStarS2 and LinkWayS2 respond directly to two of the most significant needs of business and government network service providers and end users -- operational efficiency and flexibility,Ђќ said Chris Leber, VP and general manager of ViaSat VSAT Networks.

DVB-S2 is the latest advance in transmission technique from the Digital Video Broadcasting Project industry consortium (www.dvb.org) and features a variety of technology enhancements over the current DVB-S standard. The new standard is designed to cut the cost-per-bit to transmit data by satellite by providing more efficient use of satellite transponders.
