Dubai-based satellite service provider SkyStream has purchased an iDirect Series 15100 universal satellite hub to extend and enhance the availability of its coverage for luxury yacht owners, iDirect announced Sept. 13.
SkyStream said the hub would enable the company to offer Ku-band and C-band coverage using different satellites. With two iDirect hubs and one VNO located in Asia and Europe, SkyStream will cover two-thirds of the world with support for next-generation HD video conferencing, streaming HDTV and corporate VPN access.
