Infosat Communications, Inc., Canada’s leading satellite solutions provider announced that it has formally completed its 22% investment in Pakistan’s Comstar ISA Ltd. This venture will see both companies emerge as pioneers for the introduction of the latest in satellite communications technology into Pakistan for the very first time. The expansion into this growing market for broadband solutions is already being seen as a turning point for businesses, enterprises, and government agencies in Pakistan wanting reliable operability and coverage for their communication needs.

The Satellite Broadband Hub is now commercially available throughout the country and will be known as the “Connect” solution. A VSAT network not unlike the ones which have made Infosat Communications an industry leader in North America – its ability to meet the needs of various sectors, including banking, oil and gas, and government organizations is well on its way to fruition with several key projects already implemented.

Infosat’s brand represents unparalleled expertise and customer support, both of which has helped to build its vast portfolio of clients since 1985 by introducing innovative products and customized solutions to assist companies with their communication requirements. Further to this, Comstar ISA is Pakistan’s leading satellite service provider with nearly 15 years experience in the telecommunications sector.

“We are truly excited about incorporating the capabilities and reputation of Comstar with Infosat,” said John Robertson, Infosat President and CEO. “This investment represents a unique opportunity for both companies to solidify their foothold in Pakistan where the use of satellite technology is still in its infancy, but the demand is ever-increasing.”

“We feel confident that we now have the market presence and backing required to satisfy the demand for satellite technology,” said Sami Bajwa, Comstar President and CEO. “Infosat is well known in North America, and has experienced solid growth year over year, expanding their operations successfully into Europe and Africa. Without a doubt, their decision to explore the market potential in Pakistan alongside Comstar will be a rewarding one.”

Carey Healey, Senior VP and GM of Infosat states, “This investment represents a progression towards a truly global service whereby multi-national companies are able to efficiently connect their voice and data circuits back to their head offices in North America and beyond. No matter what remote area their new project is located in, Infosat and Comstar can provide a solution that is scalable and unique to their business.”
