Our latest product, the iCON, is a third generation product which has been well received by our customers,” said Dr. Dumrong Kasemset, Executive Chairman of Shin Satellite Plc. “This year will be another challenging year for us since we are planning to establish the rest of the IPSTAR gateways to cover all 14 territories in Asia-Pacific, which is another important milestone. In addition, we will work closely together with our partners to aggressively expand the IPSTAR services in all these markets.” added Dr. Dumrong. Currently, IPSTAR provides full nationwide broadband satellite services in 8 countries with 11 gateways including: Australia, Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, New Zealand, and Vietnam. The Malaysian, Filipino and Indonesian gateways are now under construction. IPSTAR will continue to expand its service coverage to the rest of Asia-Pacific in 2008.
