CHUM/NovaVision/Technosatellite announce establishing Asia Business TV delivery service to North America thru Hawaii Pacific Teleport.
Kapolei, Hawaii, August 19, 2002, Hawaii Pacific Teleport, Hawaii, CHUM/ NovaVision/ Technosatellite has announced it has established an Asia/Pacific Satellite Gateway at Hawaii Pacific Teleport for its North American satellite business television network.
The gateway will allow Asian based corporations to deliver corporate video material to their distributors in North America by satellite at very competitive rates. Benoit Noury the general manager of Montreal based NovaVision subsidiary of CHUM said "Imagine a Japanese computer company releasing their latest laptop or a Korean Car manufacturer launching a new model. In today's competitive market place getting the message out in the shortest time is critical and there is no better way than business television. The Hawaii satellite gateway is the fusion point for Asia and North American commerce. This single Teleport can relay satellite traffic from as far in to Asia as Dubai and as far into North America as Montreal."
The Hawaii Pacific Teleport gateway is over 2,000 miles off the US west coast meaning the satellites it can access can reach 2,000 plus miles further in to Asia to countries such as India, Pakistan as well as all of South East Asia and China. This Asia wide coverage brings 2/3 of the world's population within a single satellite hop of the USA.
Vince Waterson, VP of Business Development, Hawaii-Pacific Teleport, said " Business Television has the potential to overcome cultural and language differences between Asia and the USA and this media has the power to communicate like no other. The cost of breaking down these barriers is surprisingly low. Our mission is to educate Asian corporations on the benefits of using television to communicate with their distribution networks in North America."
CHUM/ NovaVision/ Technosatellite distributes it's business television from Toronto hub to business customers across North America on Nimiq1satellite using a ku-band transponder. Business subscribers in the USA and Canada are able to receive the signal on an 18 inch diameter antenna.
The Hawaii Teleport can receive business tv transmissions from across the Asia/Pacific region on JCSAT3 (128E), Agila2 (146E), Measat2 (148E), JCSAT2A (154E) for broadcast by Nimiq1 (269E) satellite to subscribers in North America.
