Additionally, this investment enables AirTap’s team to focus on market verticals outside the GoM. By operating a new Evolution satellite hub, AirTap is offering complete service coverage across the Western Hemisphere”.

Built on the next-generation DVB-S2 transmission standard with Adaptive Coding and Modulation, AirTap’s iDirect Evolution network allows the customer to better utilize network bandwidth resources and realize immediate efficiency gains. As AirTap expands its services to new markets across North America, its universal satellite hub will compliment its growing WiMAX network providing its customers with market-leading options and dependability regardless of bandwidth requirement, location or business application.
