C-COM to Debut iNetVu SolarPack System at Upcoming SATCON Expo

By Marisa Torrieri, TMCnet Editor
C-COM (News - Alert) Satellite System’s latest low-cost, easy to use, solar-powered iNetVu SolarPack will be the centerpiece of booth #415 at next week’s annual SATCON Expo, happening Oct. 14-15 in New York City.
 
In addition to showing off the SolarPack for the first time, the Ottawa-based portable satellite antenna provider will give demos to all who stop to check out two of its most popular iNetVu antennas: the 1200 Vehicle-Mount and 1200 Flyaway models.
 
Reliant on solar energy for power, the iNetVu SolarPack S1600 is a portable solar power system that can supply up to 600W of quiet AC power to operate a complete iNetVu Flyaway System. The S1600 system consists of an advanced 19” mount electronic inverter and a rugged case that can be wheeled over rough terrain. It houses two foldable solar panels, a charge controller, a battery and three standard DC outlets.  
 
Recently, C-COM told TMCnet that it has received more than $400,000 worth of orders for its iNetVu portable satellite antenna systems from its resellers in China, Russia and the United Kingdom.
 
The news comes just a few weeks after C-COM announced the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam deployed its iNetVu satellite for emergency communications – marking the first and largest government procurement of this kind to date.
 
With the new agreements in Europe and Asia, iNetVu antenna systems will be deployed in China, Russia and the U.K. for oil and gas exploration and emergency management. C-COM said it expects to ship all of these systems during the current fiscal quarter.
  
“These orders are testament to increasing world wide acceptance of the iNetVu Antenna systems for use in environments where instant communications coupled with extremely high reliability is absolutely essential,” Leslie Klein, the company’s president and CEO, told TMCnet.
