Comprehensive information about Norsat (NSATF) Annual Information Form, dated Oct. 22, 1999. sedar.com . caif2.pdf Satellite will soon offer 2-way communication for the average user. It's called KA Band. Norsat is a provider of and leader in this new technology for the internet. KA Band Facts: electric-words.com Great Summary by Manguy1 There are two satellites in space right now able to deliver the Ka band internet two-way access. One is through ASTRAnet and the other is Koreasat. ASTRAnet has two contractors for the SIT, and one is Nortel. Nortel and Motorola were both fighting for the non-European half, and Nortel got the contract. It was a win-win for NSATF, since NSATF provides the ODU for both Motorola and Nortel. Then, in Koreasat's project, Hyundai Electronics is the ground station provider(aka SIT). NSATF was chosen to be the provider of the ODU there, too. So, NSATF is providing the ODU for the only two Ka band satellites in orbit right now. I expect more. More importantly, NSATF is the preferred provider of at least three ground station giants.
