The Golden Age of ND SatCom's SkyRAY


Friedrichshafen, September 8, 2006 - ND SatCom, an SES ASTRA company and a leading global supplier of satellite-based broadband VSAT, broadcast, government and defence communication network solutions, has announced at IBC 2006 that it has just completed manufacture of its 100th SkyRAY antenna subsystem. The spectacular golden edition of the 100th ND SatCom SkyRAY which will be rolled out at the trade show (booth 1.341) represents the exceptional success that the component has enjoyed since its market launch at IBC 2004.

Developed and designed by ND SatCom's engineers, SkyRAY has become the company's flagship for mobile SNG requirements as a result of its aerodynamic style, reliability and performance as well as its robustness and longevity. Originally designed for broadcast & media companies, ND SatCom SkyRAY has created synergies for mobile VSAT solutions in defence and government sectors and markets such as oil & gas, disaster recovery or GSM backup.

"Satellite News Gathering, mobile backup and disaster recovery missions require the rapid deployment of vehicles for unforeseen operations and territories. The ND SatCom SkyRAY series was engineered to fit these challenging requirements in terms of size, optimum weight and shape. Although our subsystem is a standardized component, it can be integrated into an individually tailored solution", commented Dr. Gerhard Bommas, CTO of ND SatCom. ND SatCom SkyRAY's technological edge resides in its components and software options. All critical components such as the mount and the Antenna Control Unit are manufactured at ND SatCom's German headquarters in Friedrichshafen.
