SGT Solutions has developed a mobile satellite application for the healthcare sector using a drive-away motorised auto-acquire satellite system for reliable and immediate connectivity. This unique solution expands the reach of healthcare into areas that are not easily accessible and are distant from healthcare facilities like hospitals, clinics, medical practitioners, etc. “The solution aims to deliver healthcare equity to the communities where there is very low doctor to patient ratio,” notes Suraj Ramlall, GM, SGT Solutions.
The solution of choice was the C-COM iNetVu 1200 – Drive-away antenna systems, which is 1.2m vehicle-mounted auto-acquire satellite drive-away antenna, capable of handling critical bandwidth using satellite communications. The iNetVu antenna system is an industry-leading product with very fast satellite acquisition (a few minutes), making connectivity to a satellite a quick and easy process. The system works seamlessly with the iNetVu 7000C controller, which is ideal for applications that require a quick, simple set-up and reliable connection. Using the vehicle battery, the iNetVu controller features optimal high-precision antenna positioning, simple front panel configuration and a one-touch button operation to acquire satellite connectivity and to stow the antenna.
This solution is complemented with the leading-edge satellite modem, which combines high-performance mobility features. The satellite modem can deliver throughput of over 250Mbps. Its features provide service providers high-end scalability and the ability to add more inbound capabilities, thus avoiding costly site visits or remote swap-outs. The satellite modem features a dual GigE ethernet port, which is compatible with a variety of ODU configurations. The modem’s ease of installation allows service providers to deploy their services quickly and cost-effectively.
