By Rob Feldman, RealTechNews It almost didn’t happen. The most exciting and anxiously-awaited personal technology device: the Portable Satellite TV with Recorder. Initially, the reception was poor in cities with tall buildings, and use near mountains and in jungles was impossible. Then the small start-up company, located in Kazakhstan, came through with the technology needed to make it work. The CEO, Lipra Loof, had two words to describe the technology that saved the day: Bounce Wave.
Here’s how it works: The satellite signal bounces off structures: buildings, mountains, trees; whatever is in the way. In tests, reception has even been achieved in tunnels. When word of this initially got out, orders starting pouring in,” recalls Loof. “Millions of orders.
“We have just about all 7,654 residents in our small town working on the production of the SAT TV I unit,” Loof says. “We are hoping for late Fall 2005 delivery of these magnificent IPOD-size units, which have a three or five-inch color screen and state-of-the-art everything. You can even record up to five hours of TV programming on multiple channels. We are working on incorporating voice recognition so you can program your unit by telling this remarkable device just what you want to record.”
