Recently bought by IDS a major global corporation and delivering some disruptive tech, could this new kid on the block be a game changer?
Often described by the established providers as “Exotic” or “New” but with a strong heritage in military and commercial and a research division delivering game-changing technology ahead of the of the establishment is David really Goliath?
In the face of fierce competition, Skytech stands their ground.
Skytech’s strength is based on its constant adherence to the highest technological standards and innovative transmission methods developed by leading satellite operators, whom Skytech works within close synergy. This collaboration sees confirmation in the qualifications and certifications Skytech regularly obtains, often for being the first in the world to provide compliant terminals that operate with their latest satellites.
You could be one of the first European distributors but your current airtime supplier might object, this is why.
So why do some associate Skytech with Airtime?
Following the acquisition by IDS Corporation, Skytech has focused on research, development and manufacture of VSAT terminals for military, shipping and yachting. Its main products are Ku, Ka and X, dual and tri-band antennas for airplanes, ships and satcom-on-the-move. The legacy airtime business has been sold and is not part of IDS strategy any longer.
So if your airtime supplier objects to you signing a distribution agreement with Skytech fear not you by Hardware with no commitment to airtime.
