Hirschmann Solutions Satellite Communication Application Story
The telematics world sees rapidly increasing demand to establish communication under all imaginable conditions. Communication and data exchange via satellite based systems is a growing market, especially for communication in remote locations. Unfortunately the comparable high cost for modems and the usually required certifications often pose a high hurdle to climb for the system integrators. A significant number of good application ideas go unrealized just because the initial very high cost for lower volumes would render the project financially unfeasible. Hirschmann – working jointly with various providers in the satellite communication industry - now combines its antenna know-how to integration of the market leading modems. Pairing the best antenna performance directly with the modem provides the customer not only with a certified high performance solution but more so allows passing on a volume effect for the modems, helping to overcome the financial hurdles and allowing ideas to be realized.
