New ‘Beam’ satellite broadband technology hits UK ahead of rivals
A Scottish based entrepreneur has stolen the march on BT Openworld and NTL for the national roll out of satellite broadband technology thanks to an alliance with Onstar Europe.
Fraser Hay, CEO of Highland based Strategic Marketing Ventures (SMV), has signed the deal to introduce the new broadband service called Beam to the UK.
Initially the product will be made available in the UK and Ireland, with discussions already underway for Beam to be rolled out throughout the rest of the world.
This 2-way "always on" broadband Internet connection via satellite, provides businesses with fast, reliable and cost effective connection, without the need of land based cable or telephone networks so eliminating all call charges and slow uploads. Beam is currently up to 10 times faster than a 56K modem, and over five times faster than a dedicated ISDN line. (MB)
