Tachyon, Inc. is an Internet company that has developed a system that will provide a two-way connection from an end user’s premises directly to the Internet via KuBand Satellites. The need for broad-reaching high-performance affordable Internet service is obvious — the benefits of Internet communications are well-known, and even where broadband links are available, they can be expensive and slow to deploy. Tachyon realized this need, and set out to deliver fast, affordable, global Internet. It was clear that the solution was satellite… if, the well-known technical challenges of delivering fast IP-over-satellite could be met. Tachyon built a team of the best in Internet software and satellite communications engineering to overcome these challenges. The result is a competitively-priced Internet carrier service rolling out globally beginning this year, enabling Internet in remote locations, IP communications for Intranet and Extranet applications for distributed businesses, community outreach and education programs and other applications.
