IPSTAR-1 is the world’s first broadband satellite.
Since 2005 IPSTAR has been Asia Pacific’s leading broadband satellite platform and service, underlining Thaicom’s innovative and pioneering role in the satellite industry.
IPSTAR has a successful track record of providing the region’s telecom industry, businesses, and government administrations with cost-effective satellite broadband capacity and services.
Whether you want to empower school children with access to learning materials on the Internet, back up your business operations, or expand your cellular networks in low-density population markets, IPSTAR is there to remove distance barriers.
Internet via satellite has always suffered from a high associated cost. IPSTAR is a game changer: the IPSTAR High Throughput Satellite (HTS) platform drastically increases bandwidth efficiency at significantly lower cost of service—resulting in a competitive advantage over conventional satellites for the cost-effective delivery of voice, video, and data services on a nationwide scale.
IPSTAR is wholly owned by Thaicom Public Company Limited—one of Asia’s leading satellite operators. With IPSTAR-1 (THAICOM-4), THAICOM-5, THAICOM-6 and THAICOM-7, the company currently operates four satellites. THAICOM-8 is scheduled to launch in 2016.
