Rutherfordton, NC (PRWEB) April 1, 2005 -- Sky Catcher Communications announced plans to offer Digital Video Broadcast -- Return Channel Satellite (DVB-RCS) services to the enterprise market in North America.

"The DVB-RCS platform has become the accepted standard for enterprise and government agencies in Europe during the past five years and it only stands to reason that this proven and reliable standard should be offered in the U.S.," said Don Thompson, chief executive officer of Sky Catcher Communications.

Sky Catcher plans to offer leasing programs to their business clients through its North American network of distributors. Sky Catchers highly experienced and certified distributors are responsible for selling, installing and servicing all DVB-RCS systems.

In conjunction with their technology partner Telenor-USA, the company is currently beta testing the system on the East Coast and plans to offer services nationwide next month.
