Latest NewsJune 2007ST Electronics Unveils Smallest 1.2 Metre Singapore, 20 June 2007 — Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited’s (ST Electronics) satellite business unit unveils its Agilis brand ultra compact 1.2metre stabilised C-band VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) antenna, at the CommunicAsia 2007 exhibition. The Agilis 1.2 metre maritime VSAT antenna designed and marketed by ST Electronics subsidiary, ST Electronics (Satcom & Sensor Systems) Pte Ltd, will provide smaller sea going vessels with an “Always On” connectivity for all their communication requirements. It provides not only secure transmission, but also a fast 512Kbps inbound transmission rate and up to 2Mbps for outbound transmission. Users can expect this cost-effective compact system to provide them with continuous on-board communications through a high performance network. Recognising the potential in the large and untapped market base of smaller vessels, ST Electronics developed the antenna to provide these vessels an opportunity to benefit from efficient and cost effective broadband satellite communications. The antenna is considered as the smallest stabilised C-band antenna available in the market currently and will fit perfectly into the confined space of smaller vessels.
ST Electronics is also showcasing new iDirect solutions for the Asia Pacific market through its launch of Small Form-Factor Comms-on-the-Move Technology (COTM), Global Network Management System for Maritime Industry.

Smaller vessels that ply the sea have limited communications capabilities as compared to bigger seagoing vessels. In developing the 1.2meter stablised antenna, ST Electronics has opened this communication option to smaller vessels. Communications service providers can now provide their customers with superior maritime VSAT services that will offer shipping vessels unprecedented communications capability and benefits.
