JGoren and all, Do LOR have an answer for this? Of course. Right? High-Speed Satellite Data Network Planned (03/23/99, 8:09 a.m. ET) By Mary Jander, Data Communications Hughes Electronics, in El Segundo, Calif., has unveiled a$1.4 billion plan for a North American satellite network offering high-speed bandwidth for data, Internet access, videoconferencing, and other applications on demand. The service is dubbed Spaceway, and it is planned for rollout in 2002 as the first part of Hughes' plan for a global broadband satellite network. Hughes said it would offer Spaceway as part of its Direc series of services, which now includes DirecPC Internet and DirecWay Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT). The services would be based on a system of geostationary satellites and would support data transmission at 30 GHz and reception at 20 GHz. Spaceway would furnish users with 16-Mb/s uplinks and 400-megabits per second downlinks, the company added. Hughes said it hoped to roll out similar services worldwide through partnerships and strategic alliances. Brian H.
