HICAP, the exclusive representative for ViaSat in Saudi Arabia, will use ViaSat Skylinx® VSATs to provide connections for a variety of advanced networking applications in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, such as LAN to LAN connections, videoconferencing, file transfer, Internet access and communications on-the-move (COTM). The DAMA VSAT system will enable the HICAP network to establish direct, on-demand voice or data connections via satellite, and to automatically restore communications in the case of any terrestrial network interruptions. The system uses full mesh switching to minimize transmission delays between all stations. While satellite bandwidth is usually the largest cost component of satellite communication networks, the ViaSat VSAT system minimizes that expense through advanced DAMA technology.
