World Communication Center (WCC), a provider of global satellite voice and data communications, this week announced a channel partnership with Strix Systems, which develops wireless mesh network systems.
The companies will work together to provide WLANs and Internet access via satellite in remote parts of the United States for industries including construction, mining, RV parks, hotels and motels, ski resorts, maritime, government and defense.
WCC will combine Strix Systems' wireless mesh networking systems with its portable VSAT satellite to create a WLAN Internet connection that will work anywhere in the world.
"For the first time, we can provide a number of industries the critical ability to easily set up portable networks, connect with a distant existing network and gain access to the Internet," says Weldon Knape, CEO of WCC. "Businesses that involve a high amount of travel and remote job sites will no longer have to return to the office to take care of their needs, saving them time and money."
