Co-operation between Paradigm and UHP is set to continue with the integration of the UHP-200 modem into Paradigm’s field-proven PIM. The PIM is an easy-to-use, environmentally rugged terminal controller which enables mobile satellite terminals to be pointed and optimised quickly by non-technical users.

The PIM supports the UHP-200 modem, providing impressively high data rates on a range of high throughput satellites utilising UHP-based networks.  Operations using Paradigm’s ‘internet-in-a-backpack’ SWARM® terminal have delivered IP data rates exceeding 20Mbps duplex.

Managing new business challenges should encompass the entire satellite workflow and make it far easier to set up satellite antennas, reduce operator fails/ issues and ensure entire networks are continuously and automatically monitored. Integrasys has already worked and continues to do so, with a few satellite operators to drastically reduce running costs through better tools for installation and monitoring. Yet, there is one area that remains very tricky complicated and that is the process of buying and selling satellite capacity.
