The SWE-DISH IPT Suitcase gets Eutelsat approval

The SWE-DISH IPT Suitcase has received Eutelsat type approval. It is the first earth terminal of its type to receive this approval, putting it in a class of its own.

The SWE-DISH IPT Suitcase is the first earth terminal of its type, and one of very few antennas of its size, to receive a Eutelsat type approval (reg. nr. EA-V042). This approval means that the IPT Suitcase does not need individual verification of RF performance prior to entering the Eutelsat system. The IPT Suitcase, now with the Eutelsat type approval, is setting the standard for small, mobile, easy-to-use, broadband satellite earth terminals.

Before issuing the type approval, Eutelsat did a thorough evaluation of the IPT Suitcase and its production, including an on-site review of the production and manufacturing process, an audit of quality assurance work, and antenna measurements on a test range.

- This fits with the feed-back we are getting from our customers. They have high demands on quality, performance and ruggedness and we have designed the IPT Suitcase to meet these, says Lars Jehrlander, CEO at SWE-DISH.

The SWE-DISH IPT Suitcase is the world's most compact and quickest-to-air satellite terminal. The IPT Suitcase, with its one-person operation and exceptional technical performance, allows live 2 Mbps broadband transmission from virtually anywhere in the world. The IPT Suitcase is used for everything from ordinary satellite news gathering (SNG) to IP-over-satellite.

Eutelsat is one of the world's leading satellite operators. A fleet of 22 satellites, of which 19 are fully owned, provides satellite coverage stretching from the Americas to the Pacific.
