ViaSat Completes Satellite Network for ELIOP for Istanbul Drinking
and Waste Water Management
LinkStarS2 provides efficient
data transfer for monitor and control of drinking water for entire city
CARLSBAD, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) July 21, 2008 --
ViaSat Inc. (Nasdaq:VSAT) has completed the rollout of its LinkStar®S2
satellite networking system to ELIOP S.A. (Spain) for data collection,
monitoring, and control of drinking and waste water operations for the
Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration General Directorate (ISKI).
ELIOP has integrated its own “SHERPA”
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology with
LinkStar terminals to gather information on water reservoir levels,
pipeline integrity, water quality, and drinking and waste water
distribution management for a community of 15 million customers. ViaSat
supplied the complete satellite
communication network including the antennas, satellite transmission
electronics, LinkStar hub, and 300 network terminals.
“This ISKI network is mission critical in the
monitoring and control of the quality and distribution of drinking water
to one of the most populous cities in the world,”
said Guillermo Bosch, director of sales in Europe for ViaSat Commercial
Satellite Networks. “We have a long-standing
business relationship with ELIOP, the ISKI local representative for
business and support in Turkey, and our LinkStar system has proven to be
very efficient for this SCADA application.”
The DVB-S2
waveform integrated into the LinkStarS2 offers
up to 30% greater bandwidth efficiency compared to the previous
generation DVB-S standard, substantially reducing network operating
costs or increasing network capacity. ViaSat hub-based LinkStar
S2 and mesh architecture LinkWay®S2
VSAT systems are interoperable as well, enabling powerful and flexible
hybrid star/mesh network configurations.
