Kingston inmedia has launched a point-to-point satellite service between
Jerusalem/Tel Aviv and London, in conjunction with RR Satellite
Communications of Israel. Kingston can now provide broadcasters with
solutions built on end-to-end connectivity from all major studios and
facilities companies in Israel, through the hub of RR Sat's Reem Teleport,
then via satellite to Kingston inmedia's Gerrard's Cross Teleport. From
Gerrard's Cross, the route extends onward either to London's Telecom Tower
and other UK premises using Kingston's national fibre network, or to further
destinations such as North and South America, via Kingston's transatlantic
fibre and satellite infrastructure.
RR Satellite Communications Limited provides uplink, downlink and turnaround
