Satellite communications company Thuraya is launching an Internet Protocol (IP) box next year designed to give those travelling to remote locations access to the internet. The ThurayaIP box will provide access via its satellites, which means users can also make Voice over IP calls should they need to. It supports speeds of up to 384Kb/s with an external antenna, allowing it to be used for live broadcasts. Connection from the box to a laptop is handled by the 802.11b standard.
