NEW DELHI: Headend In The Sky (HITS) operator JAINHITS has become the first service provider to uplink on 11.3 meter ViaSat antenna in the Asia-Pacific region.

The antenna is in line with the latest digitisation amendments announced by the government. This installation will allow JAINHITS to provide better signal quality which is available at all business partners downlink set-up. In addition to this, the quality of signals emitted will be uniform and will significantly eradicate interference of any kind.

Apart from that, it meets INTELSAT’s Standard F-3 and B requirements with minimal satellite re-pointing time using a high speed motorised option. It even comes with 180 degree continuous azimuth coverage and features like lighting, protection and de-icing that can make it survive wind speeds in excess of 201 km/hr.
