SpaceBridge Semiconductor Corporation, a developer of 2-way broadband satellite terminal technology, last Friday (September 10) launched the SB2250 Broadband Satellite Modem, its second-generation product that will enable customers to dominate the enterprise broadband satellite terminal market in terms of function, price and availability.

SpaceBridge's low-cost, feature-rich modem core with the software flexibility to work within any satellite broadband standard (DVB-RCS, IpoS and others), enables systems integrators to quickly and easily build multiple terminal types for a wide range of customer-specific broadband multimedia applications such as video conferencing, high-speed Internet access, and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for private businesses.

Any of today's IP-based multimedia applications can be ported onto this product to fit any niche or mass-market application. The SB2250 Broadband Satellite Modem builds on SpaceBridge's proven experience in the delivery of leading-edge, enterprise satellite terminal technology to the market.

Already, several leading satellite system providers have selected the SB2250 Broadband Modem for their satellite terminal products.

"The SB2250 Broadband Modem is well positioned to capture a large portion of the global broadband terminal market, and to help our customers entrench themselves within the high-growth enterprise and consumer markets, ahead of the competition," said Avedis Menechian, President and CEO, SpaceBridge.

"We're thrilled to be the first to provide a complete solution that directly addresses the critical challenges facing our industry today."

A key advantage of the SB2250 Broadband Modem, already poised to become the de facto standard for DVB-RCS based broadband satellite systems, is that the product was also designed to be "standards" independent.

"Not only does it jump our competitors in terms of speed, features, and price," added Menechian, "it can also form the basis for a terminal that will operate in any broadband satellite network - including DVB-RCS, SkyPlex, and IPOS."
