Satellite Internet Service

In a bid to make India's rural masses Internet savvy, Google launched on Tuesday an "Internet bus" that will roll into 15 towns in the state of Tamil Nadu over a period of one and half months.

The bus has Internet connectivity using satellite, a spokeswoman for Google India said.
At stops, the bus will provide local people with content in English and the local language Tamil, which will give them an understanding of how the Internet can be used to meet their needs, Google said. People will be shown videos of how a variety of people including grandparents, small entrepreneurs, and students are already using the Internet to their benefit, it added.

In many cases, people have access to the Internet through cyber cafes in the locality, but they do not use it because they are not aware of the benefits, the Google spokeswoman said.

With 10 per cent of New Brunswick households and businesses still without access to high-speed Internet, the province is working with a Jacksonville company to ensure everyone has access by 2010.

On Tuesday morning, Premier Shawn Graham and Business New Brunswick Minister Greg Byrne made the announcement in Woodstock.

"We understand that infrastructure is more than just roads and water," said Byrne. "We also need to build up communications infrastructure. Providing high-speed Internet access to everyone in New Brunswick is critical to moving this province toward our goal of self-sufficiency."

The government will provide an investment toward the cost of building the infrastructure necessary to deliver high-speed Internet access to every remaining New Brunswicker within 18 months. This investment will help create an estimated 200 new jobs in New Brunswick.

"We believe that high-speed Internet access can help rural communities be more viable in the future," added Byrne. "It can help small businesses be more profitable, allow people to work from home and upgrade their career credentials through online learning. Providing this access is essential to helping rural New Brunswick compete in the global economy."

Satellite Internet Service

TS2 Satellite Technologies is pleased to announce the introduction of the HNS 9250 - allowing you to access a broadband satellite connection through a vehicular mounted terminal. The Hughes 9250 is designed to deliver the highest available transmit and receive rates of up to 492 Kbps while "on the move" within Inmarsat's global BGAN satellite coverage area.

Warsaw, Poland, February 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Broadband Global Area Network or BGAN for short, is a global Satellite Internet Network with telephony using portable terminals. The terminals are normally used to connect a laptop computer to broadband Internet in remote locations, although as long as line-of-sight to the satellite exists, the terminal can be used anywhere. The value of BGAN terminals is that unlike other satellite Internet services which require bulky & heavy satellite dishes to connect, a BGAN terminal is portable and can be used globally.

The Hughes 9250 controls the fully autonomous tracking antenna via an antenna control unit (ACU). This tracking antenna acquires and tracks the BGAN satellite signal while on the move. It mainly incorporates interface box, cable set, and magnetic feet for roof mount. The compact interface box modulates control signals from the terminal onto the RF link between the terminal and the antenna. All components in the terminal are powered by a single power supply that plugs into a vehicular 12V power source.
