In-Country Center Will Improve Service Quality and Cut Response Time
for Region
CARLSBAD, Calif. (Business Wire EON) May 15, 2008 --
ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) has signed Infrastruktura TK to become a “ViaSat
Authorized Repair Center” for satellite
communication system service, repairs, and spares in Russia and the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The addition of the ITK
service center gives service providers in the region an in-country
source for fast turnaround of service and support requests for their
ViaSat LinkStar® and LinkWay®
satellite systems.
“Gaining the expertise of ITK for our repair
center will increase the service quality and really cut response time
for our Russian customers,” said Robert
Feierbach, managing director for enterprise VSAT sales at ViaSat. “With
the vast size of the CIS, ITK will reduce the time for customers to get
replacement terminals, spares, parts, or repairs by eliminating the need
for lengthy import or export procedures in each case.”
ITK, based in Moscow, has years of experience in servicing all
hub-based, mesh, and single-channel-per carrier satellite systems in the
Russian Federation. For more information or to contact Infrastruktura
