TS2 4 Soldiers 2 Connect In 2 War Zones

February 16, 2009

TS2 for troops Numbers indicate that TS2 Satellite Technologies’ network in Iraq and Afghanistan has over 15 thousand users of local broadband satellite connections providing high-speed Internet services for U.S. Army soldiers stationed in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

“We were among the first Internet Service Providers in the territory of Iraq and Afghanistan and as such we have enjoyed a successful cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense, DOD contractors and individual soldiers from several years,” says Marcin Frackiewicz, CEO of the TS2 Satellite Technologies.

TS2 Satellite Technologies offer two-way high-speed Internet access with no phone lines, no cable, no dial-up modem. It’s always on, available virtually anywhere, and affordable. The laptop, or WLAN network, can receive Internet signal through a special satellite VSAT modem which is usually set up in a building or tent when deployed.

troops To the soldiers stationed in the war-torn countries, one VSAT access point provides broadband satellite access to the Internet; telephone connections including voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), IP phone and video-conference connections. In addition, soldiers can also transfer data to many other users simultaneously and share connections with others stationed in the same base. TS2 additionally equips its customers with Thuraya, Iridium and Inmarsat satellite phones, which are often the only means of communication in this region of the world.

TS2’s high-speed Internet military networks are located in Al Taqaddum Air Base, Bagram AF, Balad Base, Baquba Airfield, Cob Adder, Cob Speicher, Camp Al Asad Airbase, Camp Bucca Basra City, Camp Buehring, Camp Charlie Basra, Camp Eggers, Camp Fallujah, Camp Grizzly, Camp Korean Village, Camp Liberty, Camp Mejid, Camp Ramadi, Camp Slayer, Camp Stryker, Camp Taji, Camp Victory, Fob Bagram, Fob Brassfield Mora, Fob Delta Al Kut, Fob Diamondback, Fob Falcon, Fob Garryowen, Fob Gardez, Fob Ghazni, Fob Kalagush, Fob Kandahar, Fob Lagman, Fob Mchenry, Fob Marez, Fob Normandy, Fob Rustamiyah, Fob Summerall, Fob Sykes, Fob Salerno, Fob Torkham, Fob Warhorse, Fob Warrior, Herat RTC, Jalalabad Air Base, Kabul Airport, Camp Eggers in Kabul, Kandahar Air Base, Lsa Anaconda Balad, Q-West Base Complex and Tallil Ab Lsa Adder.
