KNS introduced a new low-cost 90cm VSAT antenna system for Astra. The Astra service was designed for terrestrial broadband but maritime customers also can take advantage of a high-speed internet connection on their boats from now.

It means that maritime customers can enjoy alway-on internet connection including telephony service using VoIP and IP television access with content-on-demand facilities at the same price of terrestrial service even on their ships.

Even though it is only a 90cm small antenna, data can be transmitted and received via satellite up to 2 Mbits/s download and 128kbits/s upload speeds.

Supertrack A9 and Astra are perfect solution for medium and in-land cargo ships.
