[Satellite Today – 5-27-08] Orbit Technology Group announced May 27 the delivery of six marine stabilized satellite systems – the OrSat – to AITelecom, a Mexican company operating in the field of satellite communications and ground installations. AITelecom will provide Orbit’s OrSat systems to one of the suppliers of Pemex, the Mexican government’s oil and gas company.

    AITelecom began providing marine satellite communications services in late 2006 based on Orbit’s OrSat systems, and installed a communications hub, in order to extend the delivery of broadband services to end-users in the area of the Gulf of Mexico. Now, after having just signed an agreement with the Pemex supplier for the purchase of four Orbit’s OrSat systems, AITelecom has installed a second hub, which will enable the provision of additional bandwidth, allowing for the expanded delivery of Internet services and data transfer to users in the area.

    OrSat provides always-on broadband communication, to and from every location, with Ku-Band coverage, even in the most difficult marine conditions.
