Wavix has developed an inexpensive two-way satellite communication system specifically to support remote data collection and e-mail services. It is designed as an economical, high-throughput alternative to fill the niche between low-cost, low-throughput systems like Argos, GOES, and Orbcomm, and high-cost, very high-throughput systems like Inmarsat and Intelsat. Wavix operates its Satellite System in cooperation with Volunteers in Technical Assistance and SatelLife, non-profit organizations providing health and technology support to people in developing countries.
