Blast Energy Services has announced that the launch of its first mobile auto-acquisition satellite system. This system utilizes a one meter dish that automatically deploys in a few minutes to acquire its satellite connection.

Blast's satellite service supports VoIP, video-streaming, data, internet and email traffic as well as local wireless deployments.

"Last year's hurricane season demonstrated the need for mobile satellite systems that could be quickly deployed and satisfy multiple communication needs," said Andrew Wilson, VP and General Manager of Blast's Satellite Division. "These self-contained systems, powered by as little as a car battery, can re-establish communications rapidly without the need for land- based or cell infrastructure in nearly all areas of North America and the rest of the World."

This new system is being targeted towards customers in the Energy and Disaster Recovery markets, in particular organizations that require rapid deployment of extensive communications capabilities to support commercial operations.

The new service utilizes iDirect Technologies' satellite equipment and service, which provides satellite broadband access solutions to customers who have a need for fast, flexible, and geographically dispersed two way internet/intranet access. With transmission speeds up to 2048kbps/768kbps the system has the capability to support multiple VoIP lines, video streaming and multiple internet users. It has built-in quality of service capabilities as well as support prioritization of voice and video traffic.
