TULSA, Okla.-Arch Communications Group Inc. said it bought a fourth satellite channel from SpaceCom Systems to expand its transmission capacity.
The company said it expects to require added capacity once it completes the addition of 50 new downlink sites. The new channel features a data speed of 19.2 kilobits per second.
SpaceCom said its FM Cubed transmission technology will avoid the usual problems associated with adding capacity because its receivers are remotely upgradeable and can be reconfigured via satellite-transmitted software commands.
