ViaSat announces Satelite Norte has become first operator to trail Digital Bus

Viasat (VSAT) announced Satelite Norte has become the first operator to trial its new Digital Bus solution allowing the major transport operator to provide high-quality passenger experiences using satellite and cellular connectivity. Following a successful test phase the solution is now being used by Satelite Norte vehicles between Goiania, state of Goias, and Sao Paulo, more than 500 miles away in the country’s southeast. With travelers across Brazil and many other countries relying on buses where rail or air routes are either too expensive or unavailable, Digital Bus offers reliable, high-speed satellite connectivity across remote locations.
