Comdek Satellite Communications.
Comdek is a VSAT provider operating wholly-owned Ku- and C-band Earth stations from its premises in West Perth and elsewhere in Australia. The company offers satellite coverage for all of Australia and for overseas (Asia, Europe and Africa).
Comdek specialises in rapid rollout, trailer mounted, VSAT systems offering up to half E1 telephony and/or high-speed data. The units are self-contained with integrated PABX, handsets, router, switch, patch panel and battery backup – as well as all transmission equipment. Lightening protection and earthing are standard. As there is no need for equipment to be unpacked and stored inside a building or caravan at site, units can be ready for service within an hour of arriving at site. Field units are available for rent or purchase on short to long term service contracts.
In late 2004 Comdek announced plans to dramatically increase its range of satellite services. In addition to its larger, dedicated bandwidth systems, the company will offer 1-way and 2-way Internet over satellite systems with voice options. The low capital and operating cost of these units will strongly appeal to advanced private customers or sites requiring Internet access – especially when there is a requirement for voice and/or fax services.
Comdek’s present and past clients include large companies such as BHP Billiton, Robe River (RioTinto), Sons of Gwalia and Fluor, as well as major contracting firms such as MacMahon and Compass/Eurest. Services include fully reticulated telephony systems, high-speed corporate data links, Internet services, ‘own brand’ phone and Internet kiosk card systems and so on. Drawing upon the company’s 18 year history, Comdek can also supply PCs, servers and peripherals as well as ISP services such as corporate broadband DSL.
