Echo Satellite Communications, Inc. (Other OTC:ECSC) has shipped its first order to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for a HeliSAT3 customized Iridium repeater system. HeliSAT3 is a satellite communications repeater, specifically designed to create wireless satellite telephone “hotspots” aboard Naval aircraft. HeliSAT3 enables airborne Iridium users to quickly and easily make fully wireless, satellite voice, and data communications available from a helicopter passenger compartment. Historically limited by the requirement for satellite phones to have line-of-sight access to orbiting satellites, with HeliSAT3, passengers can now access dependable and uninterrupted in-flight wireless satellite communications. HeliSAT3 was developed by Echo SatCom at NAVAIR’s request. Available as a fixed, single external antenna unit, HeliSAT3 creates a satellite communications “hotspot”. This allows more flexibility by enabling multiple passengers to use Iridium-based satellite telephones without losing a signal. With HeliSAT3, customers of the Iridium satellite network, such as the military, can now use their satellite phones or data terminals to make multiple concurrent calls within a HeliSAT3-enabled airborne “hotspot” from any region on Earth.
