Opens a new era for High Quality Digital TV On-The-Move for Thailand
Shin Broadband Internet (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (SBI), a subsidiary of Shin Satellite Plc., announced today at the press conference at the Thaicom Satellite Station the launch of its new product called “Wiworld”, a mobile satellite antenna used to receive digital TV signals from a moving vehicle. The Company soft-launched Wiworld two months at the International ICT EXPO 2007 before today’s official launch and received very positive feedback from the market. Wiworld will target individuals, families and executives who spend a significant amount of time in their vehicles. In addition, Wiworld will target public transportation such as VIP coaches.
Wiworld is a mobile satellite auto-tracking antenna used to receive digital television signals in a Ku-band spectrum. Its sleek and modern design can be installed on the roof of any vehicle using a magnet and can easily be removed when parking. This magnet is capable of attaching the antenna to the roof even with vehicle speeds of up to 180 kilometers per hour. In addition, the Wiworld system allows connection with any Ku-band satellite TV receiver (set-top-box) such as DTV or other Pay-TV set top boxes. Users will experience clear digital TV signals in their moving vehicles.
Mr. Krajang Lojnsirisilp, Sales and Marketing Manager of Shin Broadband Internet (Thailand) said, “Wiworld is one of our premium products this year. Wiworld is a unique product that will help enhance the satellite broadcasting market in Thailand. This is because you can bring your own set-top-box, either subscription or free TV, anywhere you go in Thailand without hesitation. With its special auto-tracking feature, Wiworld is suitable for customers who are on the road a lot but don’t want to miss their favorite programs. Also, Wiworld is easy to install and no modifications are needed with your car. As for the distribution channel of Wiworld, we have authorized dealers throughout the country. This year we target 2,000 set of Wiworld to be sold.”
