Meet
your new owner, Australian Satellite Communications (ASC.) SpeedCast
has recently acquired the Australian SATCOM company to improve the
managed networks services that SpeedCast delivers throughout Asia,
the Middle East, Africa, and the rest of the Pacific region.
ASC
delivers satellite communications solutions to mining and oil &
gas industries and the construction, government, and maritime sectors
of Australia and its surrounding regions. The Company's ReadyCONNECT
solution is a popular portable emergency response VSAT system that
recently proved its worth during the disaster recovery operations
following Cyclone Yasi.
ASC
will provide high quality, mission-critical satellite communications
services to SpeedCast when the latter company operates in remote and
challenging locations. SpeedCast's
position as the industry leader in the Pacific region will be
enhanced by its newest acquisition, allowing SpeedCast to make deeper
inroads into important Australian mining and oil & gas markets.
