EUROSTAR launches 'Green Box' - leading the eco-friendly approach in satellite receiving systems at CABSAT 2008

This year's CABSAT will see the mega launch of the first-of-its kind satellite receiver - Green Box from EUROSTAR along with other innovative satellite products. As one of the pioneers in the satellite communications sector, EUROSTAR will be the largest exhibitor at CABSAT 2008.
Green Box is 100% recyclable digital satellite receiver.

The development of this unique eco product is especially apt in this market arena as it complements the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on energy conservation in Dubai. This eco friendly product is an FTA receiver and is RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) compliant.

The Green Box will ensure low power consumption and is aided with an auto switch-off function that guarantees preservation of electricity. This unique satellite receiver will also have trickle charge time keeping. The product will be revealed at Hall 2 (Stand E2-1) on the March 4th.

Sharing the launch pad is EUROSTAR's other innovative satellite product - Caller ID Box. This is an on screen caller ID facility that displays incoming calls on the TV screen. The Caller ID Box will have a storage capacity of 20 missed and received calls and will be fully compatible to MPEG2 and standard DVB.

Commenting on the launch of the new satellite products, Mr. Raju T Jethwani, EUROSTAR Group Chairman, said: 'We are delighted to be participating in this year's CABSAT which has been a powerful platform every year for the global launch of our products.. With the prestige and credibility of CABSAT, we are able to reach influential decision-makers as well as a large number of our users'.
