Forsway, the Swedish satellite/terrestrial broadband player, is adding a new member to its board of directors. The company announced Jan. 22 that
Irdeto Executive Bengt Jonsson will join the board.
Forsway is one of the new interesting companies on the European satellite landscape. Its hybrid hardware and technology combines satellite with existing terrestrial technologies to enable broadband services for the large demographics of users in underserved markets lacking reliable internet access. The Forsway Xtend ecosystem, a 2019 Satellite Technology of the Year nominee, aims to be a complete toolkit and cost-effective hybrid satellite extension, aiming to challenge the high cost of connecting hard-to-reach, underserved markets.
