Skystar 360 E Data Sheet
1. Skystar ™ 360E
For Corporate Networks, Broadband IP over DVB
The ability to deliver Broadband content to all your business locations
with increasing speed, quality and reliability leads to increased operational
efficiency and provides a competitive advantage. The Skystar 360E offers
a flexible two-way satellite-based solution enabling interactive Broadband
IP and multicasting applications. With DVB standards and extensive IP
capabilities, the Skystar 360E supports virtually any data and IP multicast
application. The high-speed IP platform is ideal for
SOHO, SME and large corporations.
