The partnership will combine technology between the two entities to support LinkScape Ku- and C-band coverage across the Americas, Caribbean, Europe, Asia and extended coverage worldwide.

   “The timing [of the partnership] could not be better,” LinkScape Vice President of Business Development David Horacek said in a statement. “We have completed enhancements to our UltraVSAT modem platform and by combining this with KNS’ reputation in manufacturing the most advanced antennas on the market, our global Ku- and C-band VSAT networks are now stronger than ever.”

   The new partners said they would demonstrate their latest combined UltraVSAT solutions at the SATELLITE 2012 conference in Washington, D.C.
