Shiron Satellite Communication’s Brazil office has just closed a commercial agreement with Sanmina-SCI to produce state-of-the-art, broadband satellite communication VSATs (Very Small Aperture Terminal) locally in Hortolândia (SP), district of Campinas. Shiron will be the first and only company to have local production of VSATs in Brazil. Currently, more than 20,000 VSATS are imported every year into Brazil, and the country’s installed base exceeds 100,000 VSATs. Shiron InterSKYtm Irg-S2/ACM broadband satellite communication VSAT terminals were officially approved by the National Agency of Telecommunications (Anatel) last March 2008 for use in Brazil. With Coldecon and Anditel/IPC in Colombia, Shiron has deployed over 7,000 VSAT terminals in 2007, and is deploying, for the first time in Latin America, 3,000 iRG-S2/ACM VSATs with 16APSK ACM (Adaptive Code Modulation) outbound and an 8PSK with FEC 8/9, the most efficient VSAT system deployed. The InterSKYtm platform works in C-, Extended C-, Ku-, Extended Ku-, Palapa C- and Ka-bands.
